The cost of the timer interrupts on a single image system is neglectable,
true. As I already pointed out in the original proposal we are looking
for a solution that will allow us to minimize the costs of the timer
interrupts when we run many images. For us this case is not unusual and
it is reasonable to degrade performance of a running system by a very
small amount to get rid of the HZ timer. This proposal was never meant
to be the perfect solution for every platform, that is why it is
configuratable with the CONFIG_NO_HZ_TIMER option.
