>From Configure.help:

- "Pentium" for the AMD K5, K6 and K6-3D, Cyrix MediaGX,
     Cyrix/IBM/National Semiconductor 6x86 and GXm, IDT Centaur
     WinChip C6, and Intel Pentium/Pentium MMX
   - "PPro" for the Cyrix/IBM/National Semiconductor 6x86MX, MII and
     Intel Pentium II/Pentium Pro

I don't know if it would affect bogomips, but it might be worth a try.
