Comment 8 for bug 2051342

@colin-king noticed, I just left a thank you message in the article. I'll still do the tests, but it's nice to see that someone else is contributing to this!

Another thing that I'd like to measure is to bpftrace the time spent in the tick handler before and after these changes applied, because we call the tick handler more often with HZ=1000, so it'd be nice to see how much is the distribution of such overhead.

And another cool thing that I've been told is that HZ=1000 can actually help in terms of power consumption, because apparently the CPUs have more chances to enter the idle states more quickly. This is also something that I'd like to measure.
