What is the value of cpuHz before the division on your system then? If you look
at the code you can see this comment:

#if defined(__i386__) && defined(__GNUC__)
    if (IsProcessorFeaturePresent( PF_RDTSC_INSTRUCTION_AVAILABLE )) {
        /* The way Windows calculates this value is unclear, however simply
using the CPU frequency
           gives a value out by approximately a thousand. That can cause some
applications to crash,
           so we divide here to make our number more similar to the one Windows
gives  */
        frequency->QuadPart = cpuHz / 1000;
        return TRUE;
    }
#endif

As for simply switching it off, well, that's a possibility but some apps use
this value to calibrate themselves (like games) so I'm not sure we want to rip
it out just yet.
