maybe they use different methods to get the result. maybe there was
some program running in the background that skewed results, in any
case you can get your bogomips from /proc/cpuinfo

note this really is a bogus(hence the bogo) measure of performance
I think it's only done to configure some sort of timing mechanism in
the kernel during boot(not sure though).
