My machine has 3700 BogoMIPS. It's a 1.83 Core 2 Duo. As you say
you're compiling I would put money on that this machine would be just
as fast, if not faster, than a 6000 BogoMIPS CPU, BogoMIPS doesn't
count multi-core/multi-CPU machines as it's not essential for kernel
timing, both CPUs should be the same speed.
