	Sparc Linux BogoMips Page
		BogoMips was named "Bogo"Mips for a reason; it's totally bogus as a benchmark.
		For example, before the Pentium, the bogomips value of a 386 and a 486 was vastly different, even at the same clock speed.
		And yes, bogomips are pretty bogus indeed - for the most part, I've noticed that, particularly on the Sparc Linux implementation thereof, the bogomips value is almost always the same or very close to the Mhz rating of the CPU.

	What is bogomips? - a definition from Whatis.com
		You compare the bogomips for your computer with what they ought to be for your computer's particular type of processor.
		Torvalds named the program BogoMips (for "bogus (or fake) MIPs") to suggest that performance measurements between two computers can be misleading because not all contributing factors are stated or even understood.
		Bogomips measures how many times the processor goes through a particular programming loop in a second.

	Linux.com - The frequently asked questions about BogoMips
		The BogoMips calculation loop for the non Intel CPUs is similar but not the same, because it is programmed in another assembler language.
		BogoMips is however the only portable way over the various CPUs (Intel-type and non Intel-type) for getting an indication of the CPU speed.
		This affects the BogoMips rating for all Intel and AMD Pentium variations, resulting in approximately 2clock, if they were not 2clock already.

	BogoMIPS - LinuxMIPS
		BogoMIPS used to be the infamous, prestigious benchmark for Linux machines over a decade.
		The BogoMIPS number for any given processor architecture is basically proportional to the clock rate.
		The purpose of the BogoMIPS benchmark is to calibrate internal delay loops which are used for very short delays or in situations where a process can't sleep.

		Hence, the BogoMips value gives some indication of the processor speed, but it is way too unscientific to be called anything but BogoMips.

		Note that BogoMips have nothing to do with the million instructions per second that the name suggests; that is why they are bogus.
		The only serious reason for paying attention to the BogoMips presented on booting Linux is to see whether it is in the proper range for the particular processor, its clock frequency, and the potentially present cache.
		More than 250 BogoMips references as reported on Usenet, or sent directly by e-mail to the maintainer, are listed with information about CPU type, clock speed, BogoMips, and the name and e-mail address of the reporter.

		The reasons (there are two) it is printed during bootup is that a) it is slightly useful for debugging and for checking that the computers caches and turbo button work, and b) Linus loves to chuckle when he sees confused people on the news.
		BogoMips is short for "bogus, meaningless indication of processor speed".
		As I understand it, it's not any sort of benchmark, because wall time is not one of the things it's calibrated against; instead it measures the ratio of two of the computer's clocks, or something weird like that.

		Linus himself defined the term Bogomips, so he gave the answer for his team.
		The answer Linus gave as a contestant was technically correct; he said it was a meaningless benchmark measurement.
