Do we still care about HZ=1000 with dummynet ?

I see in the dummynet man page:
Generally, the following options are required:
options IPFIREWALL
options DUMMYNET
options HZ=1000 # strongly recommended
But all of the NOTES and other documentation only mention setting the HZ
value in conjunction with DEVICE_POLLING.
The man page for dummynet is dated October 2002.
So the question is: circa 6.1, does it matter anymore to set an HZ value
if you aren't using DEVICE_POLLING ?
If so, why ? I understand the benefit when used with DEVICE_POLLING, but
not for dummynet ...
Thanks!
