Subject: [PATCH] Reduce timer event frequency by 10
4fe85b
4fe85b
Timer event to keep grub msec counter was running at 1000HZ. This was too
4fe85b
fast for UEFI timer driver and resulted in a 10x slowdown in grub time
4fe85b
versus wallclock. Reduce the timer event frequency and increase tick
4fe85b
increment accordingly to keep better time.
