Re: bogomips

[jd? <durajes@charlie.cns.iit.edu>]

i'm running a 2.0.33 kernel from the installation disks and it gives me
400.59 Bogomips for a pentium 200MMX running on a compaq laptop.  I
recompiled the kernel and it gave me about 208 bogomips after the new
kernel was recompiled, and the bogomips mystery continued.....

btw, i did read the bogomips mini howto.....
just my lil contribution....

jd?
