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.
