Sam Davies, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. In Trusty, the timer for amd64 is 250Hz. I'm aware that the Ubuntu Kernel Team strongly prefers remaining as synched with upstream on default configurations as possible. Despite this, if this new default wouldn't work out for you, would you please execute the following in a terminal: apport-collect 474977
As well, would you be able to provide some benchmarks for your hardware that demonstrate the improvements, and discussion on any negatives from your hardware? Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474977 Title: Stock ubuntu desktop kernel should be using 1000hz timer resolution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/474977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
