6 I use 100 Hz on an old P3 desktop/server. It's not a high traffic
7 server, but it does my web/email/taking over the world. The desktop
8 environment can be pretty sluggish at times, but I keep it at 100 just
9 for efficiency. Would I be best off to up the interrupt rate, or would
10 that hurt my serverness on my aging system? The desktop sluggishness is
11 livable, but I wouldn't want any tcp connections to time out from not
12 being serviced (how long is a typical timeout anyhow?)
