Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I think I mentioned this a while back on irc, but filing here for
reference.  clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) is expensive, so people want
to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE instead.  See e.g.
http://lists.x.org/pipermail/xorg-devel/2010-August/012483.html
However X would like millisecond granularity, which means HZ=1000
instead of the current 250, in order to be able to use the coarse timer.
Maybe something to consider for wheezy?

Cheers,
Julien
