#I'm seeing this as well. Also, after a long period of stability Bogomips

I don't know how many times I've addressed this, but suffice to say, far
too many.
First off; I don't know why, but some kernels report the actual clocking
of the processor instead of the PR. This is NORMAL operation.
Some kernels drop ~33-66 bogomips off of Cyrix processors for unknown
reasons.
But it's all moot, since bogomips are just that; bogus.
