You can't as qemu emulated target speed is not constant.
qemu generates code on-the-fly and uses optimizations
that result in big variations.
Add to that there's no cycle accuracy at all.

IIRC Bochs is an interpreted simulator so it can count
instructions. Counting instructions is only a crude
approximation as most processors have pipeline and
caches.

7.4 BGIPS is an indicator that the bogo loop was very
well optimized by qemu and/or the timer is wrong :-)
