Same here.
I have noticed that the "faster" the proccessor the higher the bogomips:
p90 = 35.94
p133 = 52.84
pmmx166 = 334.62 (me)
pmmx200 = 398.13
pmmx233 = 466.94.
However there is an exception:
pII266 = 267.06.
What does this mean? A measure of performance I would assume but you know
what they say about assuming :). If so what's the rule and can you tell a
bad chip using this measurement? Or is it just more abitrary numbering? What
does any of this mean to Linux/RedHat in terms of performance (if any)?
