FWIW, I once did some testing on a very low horsepower (500MHz CPU) setup and 300Hz did best with video. Since then I tend to favor 300Hz for everything. If I was a gamer and demanded ultraquick responses, I might go with 1000Hz on a fast CPU. But, 300Hz should yield more overall throughput than 1000Hz even on a fast CPU. > I'm not adverse to trying a different config for my next 64-bit > build on this machine, but using defconfig looks like a non-starter. Why not start with that setting, save the .config and then do a make menuconfig to manually make the changes you need. Alternatively, maybe someone on the list could share their .config for a similar hardware setup.
