Ah.. I was actually looking for the number  14112000, but of course I
didn't look for 32. * 441000.

But then, 14112000 / 5000 gives 2822.4 Hz, which would be a too high
rate for GUI refresh. So, what is relation between the tick and 5000
that leads to a sane GUI refresh rate (and finally, what _is_ the GUI
refresh rate)?
