I found it whil e reading the dummynet(4) manpage. It must remain a compile-time option for those of us who don't believe in tunables. Notes: - Making HZ non-constant (almost everything uses `hz' instead of HZ) mainly pessimizes time-critical code that computes hz/CONST, except: - on alphas, the HZ option has no effect. The initial value of hz = HZ is not used except to compute wrong values for `tick' and `tickadj' (`tick' is fixed up later but `tickadj' remains wrong). `hz' is initialized to hwprb-rpb_intr_freq 12 in alpha/machdep.c. So, hz needs to be non-constant and the HZ option and tunables just get in the way for alphas and for other arches where the hardclock frequency is not programmable.
