I think I win. :)
grep '^bogomips[[:space:]]*: ' /proc/cpuinfo | sed -e 's/^.*: //'
Now... depending on just how anal you wanna be, the grep pattern could
just be 'bogomips'. You could also replace the sed with cut -c 12- if
you don't mind the leading space. ie:
grep -F bogomips /proc/cpuinfo | cut -c 12-
