Hi Scott,

Thanks for the explanation. I will set HZ to 1000 and TMRMS to 1.

I tried to follow your patch "nios2: Set CONFIG_SYS_HZ to 1000 all nios2 
boards". But got cfi flash buffer write timeout on EP2C35 board. If I 
set TMRMS to 1, it works with HZ at 100, 1000 and 2000.

Best regards,
Thomas
