This certainly looks bogus to me. Any ideas?
Bogomips are always bogus. (Bogomips means "bogus millions of instructions per second".) Recently they've become even more bogus -- mine indicates twice my processor speed. If you want to fix it, go ahead. :) If not, don't worry about it because they're not important.
