a bogomips value is used for internal kernel timing stuff. nothing else.
50 bogomips on an AMD doesn't mean that it's faster than, say 40 bogomips on
a P5. it's just nice to know information that doesn't hold any valid
information -- unless you have the same hardware as your friend and he's
getting 2000 bogomips and you end up with 10. this indicates that your setup
wasn't right :-)

see above. don't see the numbers as benchmark info. it isn't. really.
