As I understand the BogoMIPS value is used for some fine grained
delays. How does then the system survive a big change in the processor
speed when :

- user changes FSB on the fly ( possible with newer mainboards,
I never tried it though )
- CPU goes to lower clock due to power management
- user (de)activates TURBO on older x86 computers
