BogoMips is 0.5 * MHz for R4xxx and 1.0 * MHz for R5000. The real
difference is smaller than that. I'd guess a R4400-250 is a bit
faster than a R5000-150 for integer and a bit slower for fp.
I didn't do benchmarks, though.

Rather rotate insns, shifts are there since MIPS I. Outside of crypto
challenges the outcome will be very different. :-)

A R10k has roughly 3 times the integer speed of a R4xxx of same
frequency, and even more for fp.

Was only an issue for r5k, fixed upstream. I hope we get a 2.4.25 soon.
