Except if you emulate them in JavaScript. I get 5.10 BogoMIPS: http://copy.sh/v86/?profile=custom&cdrom.url=http://k%C3%A6n...

The bogomips is a really bad estimate of performance (hence 'bogo'). There's considerable difference in the bogomips calculation even between different ARM subarchitectures. There was a good article about the issue recently in LWN: http://lwn.net/Articles/628531/

Probably also get a low BogoMIPS score if you boot up an image with a web browser, then run javascript emulation inside the javascript emulation.
