Default System clock's frequency

Hello,
I am using OpenBSD on laptop (desktop use cases). Linux defaults for 250 HZ system clock's frequency and for desktop use cases it is suggested in Linux to have at least 250 HZ system clock's frequency. For users wishing to have highly responsive systems it is suggested to have 1000 HZ frequency.
Code:
sysctl kern.clockrate                                                        
kern.clockrate=tick = 10000, tickadj = 40, hz = 100, profhz = 100, stathz = 100
tells me that in OpenBSD, by default, it is not the case.
I have grep-ped source code of OpenBSD kernel and found that I can append this line:
Code:
option          HZ=1000
to /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC file. After building and installing kernel from source I have:
Code:
sysctl kern.clockrate                                 
kern.clockrate=tick = 1000, tickadj = 4, hz = 1000, profhz = 1000, stathz = 1000
1. Does anybody use that option and could write whether system is stable after this change?
2. I guess that kernel with changed options is not supported by OpenBSD. Am I right?

Default

2 = custom kernels are not supported. You may use a custom kernel if you wish, for any reason you desire. But only GENERIC (or GENERIC.MP) is supported. See FAQ 5.6.
