<para>Setting this field to a nonzero value smaller than the indicated value is likely to cause a statistically significant number of sample collisions.

Setting the sample interval to a value greater than or equal to the indicated value does not guarantee a statistically insignificant number of sample collisions, as this is typically dependent on the program being profiled.</para></field_description>
