I suggest the following solutions to OS X related issues:

1. Stop caring about bogomips - they're not used anymore, and they are
indeed very bogus.

2. Use "uname -s" (or plain uname without arguments, same thing). -o is a
GNU extension and -s is just as useful.

3. Demanding that people specify the number of cores manually if we can't
detect it. We're not going to get the number of cores right everywhere anyway.


Alternative to 3. is something with system_profiler:
