Explanation
/*
* Call the timer handler on each core: as we don't
* need a very precise timer, so only call
- * rte_timer_manage() every ~10ms (at 2 Ghz). In a real
+ * rte_timer_manage() every ~10ms (at 2 GHz). In a real
* application, this will enhance performances as
* reading the HPET timer is not efficient.
