Documentation

https://docs.python.org/3.15/whatsnew/3.15.html says of the new sampling profiler:

This approach provides virtually zero overhead while achieving sampling rates of up to 200,000 Hz, making it the fastest sampling profiler available for Python (at the time of its contribution) and ideal for debugging performance issues in production environments.

But https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/corepy/episodes/The-Megahertz-e35ffoi says it can be up to 1,000,000 Hz.

@pablogsal Shall we change What's New to say "up to 1,000,000 Hz"?
