Richard,

FYI - bogomips stands for Bogus, Meaningless Indication of
Performance. From what I understand, its used to calculate the delay loop
at kernel boot time, and the information on the processor is available at
/proc/cpuinfo.
Anyway - I've got a G4/400, running YDL 1.2.1 @ 796.76
BMIPS, a Starmax 4000/200 (604e), running 1.2.1 @ 399.77 BMIPS, and a PBG4
running (sorta) 1.2.1 @ ~900 BMIPS (don't remember the exact number at the
moment). A 6360 sounds like a Performa-type model to me... Anyway - if
things are running at a reasonable speed, I wouldn't be worried... of
course, you _could_ try 2.0... :)
Sincerely,
Robert Vogt IV
