Oh I don't know<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... the tickless patch has been around for the last few years, in one form or another. I think they've done it quite well, speaking as one who has been running a tickless kernel for the last week.
At the same time, there is one glaring fault. My tickless kernel cannot play video properly. Flash video, mplayer, ffplay<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... they all stop, freeze, or seize up in one way or another. The only thing that will fix it is to install a kernel compiled without dynamic ticks.
