BogoMips are called BogoMips because they are not comparable among
different CPUs. All they measure is how often the CPU needs to run a
particular near-empty loop to delay a certain time.
There usually is a small factor which can convert between BogoMips and CPU
MHz for every CPU model. It would seem to be 1 for your ColdFire; it
happens to be 1/2 for my Athlon (bogomips: 2287.20, cpu MHz: 1145.142).
Comparisions like yours are worse than meaningless.
