bobomips

Hello,

,----[ arch/i386/kernel/cpu/proc.c ]-
| seq_printf(m, "\nbogomips\t: %lu.%02lu\n\n",.    
|        c->loops_per_jiffy/(500000/HZ),.    
|        (c->loops_per_jiffy/(5000/HZ)) % 100);.
`----

Can anybody tell my why these 500000/HZ? Why not simply 1/HZ or
1000000/HZ?


Regards,
  Bernhard
