HZ manipulation

[Wojciech Kromer]

I have 2.4.25 kernel from denx.de and latest uClibc running on mpc8248.
I'm trying to change HZ value, but still have strange results with 
simple test
Recompiling whole uClibc does not change the results.

What could be wrong?

with HZ==1000:
# 
alarm_test                                                                    

alarm fired after 
0.099092s                                                    
slept 0.999769s


with HZ==500:
# 
alarm_test                                                                    

alarm fired after 
0.199622s                                                    
slept 0.999761s

with HZ==100:
# alarm_test
alarm fired after 0.999693s
slept 0.999760s
