I.e. to what time source it is falling back to? Or perhaps this is always the same? And because of this not implemented into the proc-fs? I have just briefly looked at the kernel source for this, I'll have a closer look today if I can find the time.

Machine Type: 867373X Flash EEPROM Revision Level: PLE161AUS System Board Identifier: NA60B7Y0S3Q System Serial Number: KDZZ6FC Bios Date: 09/10/03
Some more info from Advanced/Cpu Frequency: Bus: 133 MHz Cpu Multiplier: 18 X Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz Single processor MP Table: Enabled MP Table Version: 1.4 Hyper-Threading technology: ----------
Just a thought, how much if any, increase in performance can one gain when disabling the Single processor MP Table option? It says, in the help on that options, that one can benefit from disabling it on a UP-system if I don't remember wrong now.
Cheers,
