Well, you had probably also seen that BogoMIPS are, well, Bogus. :) They're a
somewhat arbitrary calculation that really shouldn't be used as the sole basis
for determining the performance of your machine.
With that disclaimer said, 210 bogomips for an 8500/250 isn't good.. That's a
604 Chip.. my 7600/233 has a 604 chip, and I'm getting about 465.. I'm running
the stock 2.2.6-15apmac kernel from the Q3 1999 distribution..
As a note, it's not seeing my level 2 cache either.. I get the same Bad Address
message, so I am not sure how to resolve that one..
