My machine says 799 bogomips for its 400Mhz CPU.
If you are on a Pentium 100, that means your bogomips is somewhere around
half
the processor speed. Mine is double the processor speed. Why is there so
much
variance between your 53.25 bm rating and my 799 bm rating?
It would seem that my computer does nothing four times more efficiently than
yours...
