Hello,

I noticed that the bogomips results for the two cores on my machine are
consistently not the same, the second one is always reported slightly
faster, it's a small difference and I saw the same in a posted dmesg from
somebody else on the list. Which made me wonder:

Shouldn't they be the same, as the cores run from the same clock?
Could it be a bug in the bogomips calculation which could make some of the
short time-out stuff fail?
Could this be related to the tsc synchronisation stuff mentioned in the
lost ticks - TSC timer thread?

Regards,

Robert Boermans.
PS nothing actually fails on my system because of this, I just thought it
was odd. Although I do sometimes get the clock runs at double speed
problem but only after at least one day uptime, but I reboot most days for
games anyway.
