You could try the iX-SSBA-benchmark. Europes most sold UNIX-magazine
(at least they wrote it until a few months ago on the magazines), the iX,
uses it to benchmark workstations. You can get it at:
ftp://ftp.ix.de/pub/ix/benches/ix_ssba/iX-SSBA.tar.gz
It includes:
bonnie (harddisk/os benchmark)
dhrystone 2.1 (integer benchmark)
whetstone (floating point benchmark)
BSD (mem,call,pipe,fork/exec)
MP-Byte (simulates user)
and some others
