I have:
kern.clockrate: { hz = 4000, tick = 250, profhz = 4000, stathz = 129 }
but no difference.
Yes, overheads are lower and my application's performance is better but
thread switching time is same.
AFAIR I have read somewhere on the Internet about such problem when
playing multiple video files and the solution was to change some
parameters somewhere in header files but I cannot find this again.

Best Regards
