kernel jiffies have nothing to do with that. Absolutely nothing. Apart from that it is a wise choice - 100 is too low for a desktop and 1000 is too much. First off all, turn off 'vsync'. Also try opengl as output instead of xv. And if your display can do 75hz it might be a good thing to try. Oh - and the freqs of the current has nil influence at all.
