Weird bogomips problem

My wife's machine registers only 1/10th as many bogomips as it should
while booting. It is a 486 DX2-66 VLB system with 256 KB secondary cache
and 8 MB RAM. What is really strange is that the turbo button really *is*
on, and other benchmarks look normal on this machine, including dhrystone,
floating point, and one that measures bandwidth to main memory. Does
anyone have an idea of what could be wrong that would cause it to have
3.08 Bogomips instead of 33?
