i'm running a 2.0.33 kernel from the installation disks and it gives me 400.59 Bogomips for a pentium 200MMX running on a compaq laptop. I recompiled the kernel and it gave me about 208 bogomips after the new kernel was recompiled, and the bogomips mystery continued.....
btw, i did read the bogomips mini howto..... just my lil contribution.... jd? On Wed, 11 Nov 1998, E.L.
