BehaartesEtwas: i think thats untrue. I got with my newest system (AMD Shangai Dual Quad Core) only 960-970 FPS. This AMD dont have hpet, only acpi_pm, tsc and jiffies. I tested "acpi_pm" hopefully it would give some more stable/higher FPS. result was > 500 FPS :-)
Ok i tried only one test, with no more tests, perhaps you have an other idea.
But the most of tutorials and your own ones recommend hpet, there is no word about acpi_pm.
Here you can read something about the timer:

I think the best choice is hpet because its more accurate.
matte563:
The older AMD64 versions have Hpet. The very old ones do not have it and the newer one, too.
In the newest Intel CPUs is this option standard.
