You could use the bogomips to do 'educated' guess of the actual cpu speed, i
have noticed that intel and amd both run pretty close to each other, i haven't
had cyrix in my machine yet so i can't say how much it would be off but i would
guess that cyrix would be about 20%-25% slower due to lack of cache on cpu.
500mhz k6 ~ 1000 bogomips
180mhz intel ~ 375 bogomips
so intel 166 should be around 345 bogomips ... in another words if you divide
the bogomips shown by 2.08 you should get approximate cpu mhz ;)
I know this is not even close to be precise, but you could get an idea ;)

you could look for 'BYTEmark' benchmark port for linux/unix but that won't tell
you much except some comparising index to p90 and k6/233
