Why does FreeBSD 8.-0 think that my Dell SX260 have "non-unform processors"?

You're right, of course. :-)
I found a Pentium 4 with 400 Mhz FSB, it looks much better now:
FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #6: Sun Oct 11 11:14:33 CEST 2009

and  FreeBSD 8.0 doesn't say anything about "non-unform cpu" anymore.  ;^)
