The sampling interval for the hardware sampler is specified in cycles.
(see SA23-2260-01 The Load-Program-Parameter and the CPU-Measurement
Facilities)
The current default value will therefore result in millions of samples.
This patch changes the default sampling interval to 4M, which will
result in ~1500 samples per second on a z196 reducing the overhead
of sampling.
