1) What is a BogoMIP?
2) I have noticed that at boot time the system will calculate (?) the bogomips for each cpu add their combined total.
eg:
Total of 2 processors activated (594.74 BogoMIPS)
After numerous kernel recompilings I have noticed that this number changes constantly and in many times will be much more or much less than the previous kernel. (I believe I have seen this as high as 720.xx)
3) /proc/cpuinfo shows twp cpu's listed but the system does not behave as if it was scheduling both cpu's (when compiling software mainly). Before, under 4.2 I compiled the same code on the same machine _much_ faster. How can I verify both cpu's are being scheduled without relying on some text file created at boot up?
btw: This is a Tyan board with 2 matched Intel 200mmx chips. Any known problems with these boards?
Thanks, Chuck
