it's every 1/HZ where HZ = 100 as defined include/asm/param.h for
all architectures except Alpha ;)
The fix I propose takes this for granted. If anyone's machine runs
at a different clock rate, I suggest he amend my code.
BTW: As I had said further down the mail, my solution is only for
Pentiums equipped with TSCs. No pretense is made that this solution
will fix problems with pre-Pentiums. Though, I already see a way how
this may be accomplished.
