The performance measurements typically include one or more of the following:

• openssl speed rsa - test CPU performance w/ math & cryptographic operations

openssl speed rsa1024

• john -test - test CPU performance w/ cryptographic operations

touch john.ini
john -test

• sql-bench - ATIS and Wisconsin table tests I/O and CPU

Linux-RPM: yum install mysql-server mysql-bench
Linux-DEB: aptitude install mysql-server-5.0
FreeBSD: cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-server; make install
/etc/init.d/mysqld start 
cd /usr/share/sql-bench
./test-ATIS
./test-wisconsin

• bonnie++ - disk/filesystem

Linux-RPM: yum install bonnie++
Linux-DEB: aptitude install bonnie++
FreeBSD: cd /usr/ports/benchmarks/bonnie++; make install
cd /tmp
/usr/sbin/bonnie++ -u mf1 -d .

• spew - disk

Linux-RPM: yum install spew
Linux-DEB: aptitude install spew
mkdir -p /usr/local/tmp; cd /usr/local/tmp
spew --write 512m bigfile
(x3, take middle)
spew --read 512m bigfile
(x3, take middle)

• hdparm -tT - throughput of the processor, cache, and memory Linux Only

hdparm -tT /dev/sda

• apachebench (ab) - network throughput, web-serving speed

Linux-RPM: yum install httpd
/etc/init.d/httpd start
ab -n 10000 -c 100  "http://127.0.0.1/icons/apache_pb2.gif"
(Run three times, taking middle #)

• samba compile - compilation tests I/O and CPU

cd /tmp/
wget ftp://us4.samba.org/pub/samba/samba-latest.tar.gz 
tar xzvf samba-latest.tar.gz
cd samba-*/source
time ./configure
time make

• make kernel/world - FreeBSD only compilation test I/O and CPU

cd /usr/src
time make buildkernel
time make buildworld

• ubench - Unix Benchmark Utility measures CPU and MEM

FreeBSD: cd /usr/ports/sysutils/ubench; make install
ubench

• unixbench - Unix Bench v5.1.3 Multi-CPU version

From https://github.com/cloudharmony/unixbench or https://github.com/kdlucas/byte-unixbench

cd /tmp
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/cloudbench/software/UnixBench5.1.3.tgz
tar zxf UnixBench5.1.3.tgz
cd UnixBench
make all
./Run

Note1 it may be necessary to tweak the Makefile (comment out GRAPHIC_TESTS and uncomment first set of linux-applicable optimizations) on some systems.

Note2 use sudo aptitude install build-essential if you need the compiler tools

• POV-Ray 3.7 - a CPU benchmark that can measure SMP performance.
  • http://www.povray.org/download/benchmark.php
  • http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/Ou/?p=510&tag=nl.e019

 Linux-DEB: sudo apt install povray povray-examples

• glxgears - part of Xorg suite, measures video performance. Not a "benchmark" per se but gives an idea of performance with graphics-intensive programs, such as games.

• GIMPS - a tool that can torture-test / stress test a CPU using Prime95.
