The strange bogomips display could well be down to the fact that some
laptops (my Dell Latitude in particular) have a setting in the bios which
tell the CPU to slow down, when it's not loaded in order to save the
battery.
As Linux doesn't use up so much cpu power as windows ;-) - especially on
bootup - the cpu's probably really is going that slow at that time.
