14 FTR, I've run nothing but 1000 (except for testing) for a very long time
15 now on all my amd64 boxes (single, dual-core, dual CPU and dual-core
16 dual CPU) with no stability problems. In every test I've done, response
17 and latency was better for 1000, and throughput was not measurably
18 worse. I cannot recommend anything but 1000 for a desktop system
19 (unless you can go tickless).

21 Obviously, for something like this, it's largely subjective. That's why
22 the option is there.
