+# Normally it is useful to have an HZ value which is proportional to the

+# avoid too many clients are processed for each background task invocation

+#
+# Since the default HZ value by default is conservatively set to 10, Redis
+# offers, and enables by default, the ability to use an adaptive HZ value
+# which will temporary raise when there are many connected clients.
+#
+# When dynamic HZ is enabled, the actual configured HZ will be used as
+# as a baseline, but multiples of the configured HZ value will be actually
+# used as needed once more clients are connected. In this way an idle
+# instance will use very little CPU time while a busy instance will be
