* From: Jonathan Lemon <jlemon@americantv.com> * What I want is a simple new readable sysctl, something like: * * hw.clockrate: 132 * * I think that this would be useful both for development (how fast * is that stupid machine down in the bunker?), and system admininstration * (who needs a cpu upgrade this year?). I like that. * Doing this for Pentium and better systems should be trivial. Doing * it for 486 and lower would just add a timing loop. Doing it for SMP * would be harder. * * hw.cpu0.clockrate: 233 * hw.cpu1.clockrate: 233 * * Possibly? The implementer gets to pick a better name than these. How about hw.clockrate.cpu0: 233 hw.clockrate.cpu1: 233 (cpu0 only for uni-procs, of course).
