SubjectBogoMIPS?
Date
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
