My guess is that the TP is doing me a favour by running the
CPU at a reduced speed to save my battery. I'm running
with my charge plugged in so I'd like to have my BogoMIPS back.
The BogoMIPS HOWTO says:
The reasons (there are two) it is printed during boot-up is that
a) it is slightly useful for debugging and for checking that the
computers caches and turbo button work, and
b) Linus loves to chuckle when he sees confused people on the news.
Confused,
