From tracing there a timer wakeup each second but before we had a wakeup each jiffy because we could not lookup the next timer without taking the base lock which we can do now. However if there is room for improvement to have a wakeup every two or five seconds I am all for it because from RT point of view we should be able to do the same things as the non-RT version.
