I would make this a lot smaller, maybe 50000 Hz - this might also
Actually it is set to 1000 Hz. The 1 000 000 Hz I'm refering to in the
comment above is intended for pointing out differences between FreeBSD
and Haiku implementation only. By the way the 1 000 000 Hz is used for
correct timing calculations, required by some drivers, only, though no
system strain concerns here. You might look into
freebsd_network/compat/sys/kernel.h where the usage of the hz setting is
explained more thorough.
require a higher priority of the thread. Since it doesn't really do
much, I guess that would be a good idea, anyway.
However, why not using a timer for this? It much be much more
lightweight and more accurate still. I'm talking about the add_timer()
function here.
True, will change it to use the timer functionality. Reason I didn't use
it right from start was, that I originally stuck with the 1 000 000 Hz
(though usecs precision was needed) mentioned above and didn't
reevaluated other possibilities, once I realized that 1000 Hz is quite
enough, though.
