 HEllo,
 
 It does not say that this si the default setting, it's an example on how
 to specify the values and what it does. 100Hz is commonly used for virtual
 machines. If one modifies this behaviour he/she needs to know what he is
 doing. If you do not know it, why change it? It could only harm. I do
 agree that this might be a tad confusing though, I'll ponder on changing
 it.
 
 Thanks!
