Basically, fast systems won't notice the change.
Slow systems will notice the change, but still be slow.
The risk is me make the system unstable. So let's not do this now.
If Ubuntu 10.10 has a clock tick of 1000, then let's do divider=10.
If you want to test this out, I recommend divider=2 (125hz), or divider=5 (50hz) 100hz is the limit of human perception, below that and the GUI will "stick".

pokadan commentedFor latest 0.6 QuickStart VM CONFIG_HZ_250 is set. Does this need any adjustments. Perhaps a divider of 2?
Don't really understand these things..
