I wondered about this as well before, but I believe this is a measurement
of how long it takes to perform an empty loop a million times or something
like that. I noticed that accross several different installs on the same
hardware
that this number varies by 100 points in each direction. I currently use a
dual
200mhz board and it says my bogomips are like 789 or something like that.
Hope this helps, if you get any better feedback, shoot it my way if you
could.
Thanks,
WC

Subject: BogoMips
Hello!
Just a little question about BogoMips: when I boot RedHat 5.0 I get
299 BogoMips, and when I boot my other Linux distribution I get 400.
Everything else in /proc/cpuinfo is identical between the two. Does
this mean that the RedHat system is badly configured in some way? I've
compiled my own kernel in both distributions, is there anything in the
kernel configuration that can affect this? I have a Pentium 200 MMX,
and according to the BogoMips-HOWTO, 400 BogoMips is what you normally
get with this processor, and that's what I get with the other
distribution.
