Well, i suppose it's a tradeoff between throughput and responsiveness.
Larger timeslices increase system throughput (less time is spent in the
scheduler) while smaller timeslices increase responsiveness.
Someone proposed HZ=864 which might be OK.
Can someone tell me what the minimum HZ you would need to send MIDI
clock or MTC would be? I think this is a good place to draw the line.

Correct,
it's not an issue for apps driven by hardware interrupts like
JACK, because the sound card consumes data at a constant rate. But for
MIDI or video where you have to periodically push data to the device it
matters.
What is driving the kernel-devs to regress on this issue?
