perf tools: Bump default sample freq to 4 kHz

Quoting Ingo:

"While at it I'd also suggest increasing the default sampling frequency,
from 1000 Hz per CPU to at least 4Khz auto-freq or so - this should work
well all across the board I think. CPUs are getting faster and command/app
run times are getting shorter, 1Khz is a bit low IMO."
