Is "options HZ=" safe on the sparc64 platform?

Howdy,
I'd like to bump my HZ up to 1024 on my ultra 5 in order to smooth out
dummynet. I seem to recall that at least one non-Intel platform (Alpha,
I believe) uses a higher HZ value by default ... which lead me to wonder
if changing it on the sparc64 platform is a safe thing to do :-)
I'm using -CURRENT (uname -a is 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #1: Fri
Jun 20 16:20:42 CST 2003) on an Ultra 5, with an onboard hme and a
4-port hme card. Any information on HZ values, especially with how they
relate to dummynet, is greatly appreciated.

means the handlebar is likely to fall off, and you will die in the
resulting crash.
