Morten, if you are using FreeBSD, you have to recompila your kernel with this line :
options HZ=1000
this will make the CPU usage go up a little bit.
Interesting that, using pingboost 1, when the server is empty, the cpu usage went from 3.x% to 5.x%. But when the server was full, the CPU usage seemed to be more or less the same.
And, YES !, latency dropped significantly.
Just reminding, this is under FreeBSD 4.8-stable.
thank you Steven Hartland for the tip.

how do i alter the "higher frequency scheduler"
With pingbost i have around ping 15-20, without i have 45.
how many servers do you think i can run on a p4 2.8 ghz with 2gig ram?
