Benchmark tools

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I found the following benchmark tools, but none is for CPU benchmark. Can 
you suggest some good CPU benchmark tools please? (good=simple, not 
something that download lots of files off internet and compile gcc/apache)

Also, which of the following benchmark tools do you recommend for simple 
disk throughput / performance benchmark?

Thanks
