For recompiling the kernel, you need to install ABS [1] and fetch the PKGBUILD for the linux or linux-lts package. Edit the PKGBUILD to uncomment the "make xconfig" line and save it. In linux or linux-lts directory, execute "makepkg -s", which after a while it will open up a kernel configuration. Go to the Processor section and find the 1000 HZ resolution clock and the Voluntary Preemption Model. Save and quit. The kernel compilation will progress. Took about 10-12 minutes, but it depends on your hardware. If the kernel compilation succeeds, it will generate 3 Arch Linux packages in that directory: linux, linux-docs, and linux-headers (or linux-lts, linux-lts-docs, and linux-lts-headers). Install the new kernel by issuing "sudo pacman -U linux-*.pkg.tar.xz". Update GRUB (if needed), reboot. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System Best regards, Okky Hendriansyah
