Ok, this is going to make me sound like a newbie and that I have no idea what is going on.... What is a bogomip? -----Original Message----- From: juergen.braukmann@ruhr-west.de [mailto:juergen.braukmann@ruhr-west.de] Sent: Friday, May 12, 2000 4:20 PM To: SuSE Linux English Subject: Re: [SLE] bogomips issues in 2.2.15 kernel Alex Daniloff wrote:

Does it mean that kernel 2.2.15 was noticeably improved over 2.2.14 kernel? Thanks for any suggestions, Alex
Well, that limits my previous statement about bogo mips even to the same kernel level. Do you "feel" it's faster? I mean an improvement of factor 2 should be noticeable. I still state forget about bogo mips. Take a serious benchmark program.
