I read a lot of things on it through many forums and mailing lists but they always talk about it in a static way (how to fix a value different from 100) as with the Robert love's patch. What I would like to do is to code a routine that allows to modify the HZ value dynamically but the more I read about it and the more I begin to think that it is not possible.

It's for 2.6, though.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
