I'm not so sure of that. The other day someone was asking about
bogomips on the machines of another list's members.
I checked mine and was surprised to see it only at 39. The bogomips
howto suggests a P133 should get a higher speed than this. I had also
always believed that turbo was obsolete but tried turning it on. I
forgot about checking it afterwards until I saw your message.
When I checked now the bogomips rating is 53.25, so the turbo appears to
have made a significant difference. Or is it normal for the bogomips to
vary so much on the same processor?
