+       prompt "Timer frequency"
+       default HZ_250
+       help
+        Allows the configuration of the timer frequency. It is customary
+        to have the timer interrupt run at 1000 Hz but 100 Hz may be more
+        beneficial for servers and NUMA systems that do not need to have
+        a fast response for user interaction and that may experience bus
+        contention and cacheline bounces as a result of timer interrupts.
+        Note that the timer interrupt occurs on each processor in an SMP
+        environment leading to NR_CPUS * HZ number of timer interrupts
+        per second.
+
+
+       config HZ_100
+               bool "100 HZ"
+       help
+         100 Hz is a typical choice for servers, SMP and NUMA systems
+         with lots of processors that may show reduced performance if
+         too many timer interrupts are occurring.
+
+       config HZ_250
+               bool "250 HZ"
+       help
+        250 Hz is a good compromise choice allowing server performance
+        while also showing good interactive responsiveness even
+        on SMP and NUMA systems. If you are going to be using NTSC video
+        or multimedia, selected 300Hz instead.
+
+       config HZ_300
+               bool "300 HZ"
+       help
+        300 Hz is a good compromise choice allowing server performance
+        while also showing good interactive responsiveness even
+        on SMP and NUMA systems and exactly dividing by both PAL and
+        NTSC frame rates for video and multimedia work.
+
+       config HZ_1000
+               bool "1000 HZ"
+       help
+        1000 Hz is the preferred choice for desktop systems and other
+        systems requiring fast interactive responses to events.
