No. The bogomips number is determined by the result of a short timing
loop, which is directly dependent on how much CPU is available to that
specific virtual machine at the time it executes. You will get
dramatically different numbers every time it runs if you are running in
a shared resource environment like z/VM.

Note the existence of "bogo" in the word -- for bogus. It's a useless
number.
