Any chance they would make it a config option?
It is a config option, the available settings are 100, 250, and 1000.
The problem is that the default has changed to 250.

What is driving the kernel-devs to regress on this
issue?
Saving battery on laptops. The only performance numbers anyone posted
indicated HZ=250 sped up a kernel compile on a 16 CPU machine (!) by
~5%, and this was after the fact. Not exactly compelling...
But since Linus and Andrew apparently all use laptops, us desktop people
are screwed...
