I've made a test:
Envoking a Hardware-interrupt by a small timing - circuit in the ISA
Bus.
The Interrupt PM handler just increments a counter, after a minute stops
and gives out the calculated frequency = counter/60sec.
The frequency of the circuit is variable, and is
additionally measured, so the calculated frequency can be prooved.
Here the results:
P120 - Triton I chipset (Intel): 58 kHz
486 DX50 (AMD): 35 kHZ
Additional, if I do 12 imports (0 WS) in the Handler, the result is:
P120 - Triton I chipset (Intel): 40 kHz
486 DX50 (AMD): 22 kHZ
... Just in case, somebody wants to know.
(Perhaps an update in the FAQ, Eli?)
