The reason for this change was that I was trying to recall what is the name of the tunable and I wasn't able to find it with simple "sysctl -a | grep hz". In an ideal world most of not all loader tunables should also be visible as read-only sysctls. > (On the other hand, how about exporting the value of the > kernel variable "ticks"? Just a thought.)
