There are some programs (including AosKernel.Mod, AosProcessors.Mod) 
that assume one tick is 1/1000 of a second. If you change the tick rate, 
several ASSERTs will break.
If you want to slow down the time-slice rate by an integer you can do 
this in the HandlMPTimer and HandleUPTimer in AosProcessors, without 
changing the tick rate.
To make it faster is more difficult...
