[linux] Linux loopt achter

Ha Linux-vrinden,

To get more precise timing in a Linux system,
we changed HZ from 100 to 500 in the kernel (2.4.32) source file
(include/asm-i386/param.h).
This seemed to work perfectly.

But.....
Now, we face some problem that the (system)time is running behind
about 20 minutes a day.
(time difference between system clock and hardware clock, which is
operating accurately)
Probably this is a side effect of the above.
Are there perhaps other aspects we have to consider or adjust when changing HZ ?
Any suggestions for improvement are welcome.
