I have Linux running on several older Pentium machines - Pentium -166 MHz
and Pentium - 120 Mhz.

Under kernel 2.2.13+ these machines report a BogoMips of 66 or 47
respectively; suddenly under kernel 2.4.[01] the speed is suddenly
reported as 332 and 238 respectively.

Has there been a change in the definition of "BogoMips"?

Regards
