I am not sure if elp reports cpu time or elapsed (wall clock)
time.  Also, remember that my system has 8 cpu cores and large
memory.  Bogomips alone is not a full measure of system
capability.  What storage system are you using?  I.e. do you have a slow
disk?  Etc.

Are you swapping, by any chance?  How much memory does your system have?
Type "free" at the shell.
