Ah, thanks. Be advised that currently HRTICK is rather expensive. The cost is twofold: 1) doing all the kernel side hrtimer things and 2) programming clock hardware. Of course, if that's what you need, you're willing to pay the price. I'll see if I can put making it less expensive slightly higher on the (endless) todo list.
