[ros-kernel] Process scheduler / timer resolution

I was browsing the ReactOS bug tracker recently, and came across a listed
bug about the kernel timer updating 100 times a second, as opposed to 1000
times.

I recall that it's possible to set the system timer to fire an interrupt at
a particular rate. And surely by increasing that rate, the kernel scheduler
will switch threads more often, and thus the result will be lower latency
and possibly smoother multithreading.

I have no idea how to implement it.

Or has this already been done?
