And anyone using HZ to do almost anything other than counting jiffies was justifiably raked over the coals ... for example, you'd not calculate bit rates in kbps by bits/HZ rather than doing bits/1000. :) I like the idea of moving to count time in more appropriate units, like milliseconds (for USB). But time units aren't dimensionless ... HZ wasn't, but your patches shift from using explicitly dimensioned constants to dimensionless ones. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
