I wonder why you enabled this. Isn't this only used for debugging? Wouldn't this introduce some sideeffects or performance loss? -- archlinux.de

CONFIG_NO_HZ CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS CONFIG_HPET_TIMER CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE CONFIG_TIMER_STATS What kernel options should I disable inside the kernel?

It has has almost zero run-time overhead if not enabled using /proc/timer_stats. I utilized it on my custom kernel because of powertop. It's also enabled by default on major distros like Fedora. Jürgen
