>From Linus Torvalds, torvalds@cc.helsinki.fi, explaining about the
variation one may see in the BogoMips rating, in c.o.l.development,
at 28 April 1994
`The BogoMips calculation loop is "quantizised", so you're most likely to get the exact same number all the time. You usually will get different numbers only if the speed is just on the "edge", when small variations (different time for interrupt ticks etc) will make it jump from one value to the other.'
