Is it at all possible to implement kernel without ticking, spin system
by events and periods ?
You can compile with CONFIG_NO_HZ=n if you want a ticking kernel.
Maybe ticking is still best solution to have fast responding system ?
My guesses are that it has already been benchmarked for speed, but you can
still test it yourself.
At least power usage/battery times is much better with a tickless kernel.
Kind regards
