-------
The default HZ of xen guest kernels has always been 100 (before the upgrade to
2.6.13).
The hypervisor is always running with HZ = 100 (see
xen/include/asm-x86/config.h), even if you change the kernel on top of it to
have a different HZ.

so the guest expect to run at HZ=250 but is actually running at HZ=100, which
give some weirdness (totally minor though)

BTW, bogomips (Bogus MIPS) doesn't give any real performance value, that just
for kernel internals to time the hardware. and the value has change over
different vanilla kernel too (comparing a vanilla 2.6.9 and vanilla 2.6.16 is
like comparing apples and oranges)
