BogoMIPS: /bo´goˇmips/, n. The number of million times a second a processor can do absolutely
nothing. The Linux OS measures BogoMIPS at startup
in order to calibrate some soft timing loops that will be used later on;
details at the BogoMIPS
mini-HOWTO. The name Linus chose, of course, is an ironic comment
on the uselessness of all other
MIPS figures.
