Well, the traditional 'casual' benchmark is the time used for compiling
a kernel (with some given configuration). This is more reliable than
bogomips since it measures a real, useful, computation -- but of course
it may match more or less well your usual mixture of dependency on
cpu/disk/RAM performance.
