What are you comparing this to other Linux's?

You might try the time(1) command line tool.  Pick programs that run on all 
the systems you are comparing and are representative of the operations you 
want to do, then write a script to run the programs using 'time', the 
script can capture all the times and compile them for you.

Check out this guy's website: http://www.bagley.org/~doug/shootout/
He was comparing languages, but you could do something similar.  You could 
even use a lot of his code.
For instance take all of his C code (C++ would be a bad idea, because 
compilers vary widely in C++ optimization and implementation) then compile 
and benchmark it on each system.

If you are looking for benchmarks that have already been done, you will 
probably have to specify what you are comparing to or what aspects (ie. 
disk usage, I/O, SMP) that you are interested in.
