Processing of an EPICS record takes ~2 milliseconds on my SL5.3/DELL
2.27 GHz. It is unbelievably slow!
Is it possible to shorten this time without rebuilding Linux kernel?

Thanks, Andrew and Emmanuel for your replies.
I am running Soft IOC on Dell server (64 bit) with eight Intel Xeon CPUs, each 2.27GHz.
It seems that syntax for dbd file is correct. I found that minimum scan period for my system is 0.001 seconds. For shorter periods it falls down to 0.1 second, as Andrew mentioned.
The difference in one CPU usage is only 5% if I run records with scan 0.1 second or 0.001 second. It looks like it is limitation of EPICS, not hardware.
Or perhaps the kernel timer implementation has a resolution of 1 ms?
What is the bottleneck for processing of a record on GHz CPUs?
Is it possible to improve it?
