Do you also want to know about CONFIG_PREEMPT, SMP, current load, future
load in order to estimate the delay you want to ask for?

No. The delays I 'require' are not estimated. They are constant. What is estimated is the kernels ability to give what I require. And that varies greatly between a 100HZ kernel and a 1000HZ kernel.

So what is the returned valu of sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK) good for?
