Subject: [PATCH 51/74] Reduce timer event frequency by 10

Timer event to keep grub msec counter was running at 1000HZ. This was too
fast for UEFI timer driver and resulted in a 10x slowdown in grub time
versus wallclock. Reduce the timer event frequency and increase tick
increment accordingly to keep better time.
