Leaving the PIT interrupt running can cause noticeable steal time for virtual guests. The VMM generally has a timer which toggles the IRQ input to the PIC and I/O APIC, which takes CPU time away from the guest. Even on real hardware, running the counter may use power needlessly (albeit not much). Make sure it's turned off if it isn't going to be used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
