Thanks for your reply. I consider to adjust this on many virtual
(vmWare) servers runnning mostly IBM Websphere application server. Do
you know of any negative impacts on such applications?
I tested with 100 and 1000 Hz timer interrupt rate on a othervise idle
VM, and noticed about 2% difference in average CPU consumption
reported from vmWare for that particular host.
