Is there a way to benchmark the performance of my Raspberry Pi?
I'd be looking at Upload/Download speeds, reads, writes, and general processing stuff.

1You will find benchmark tools for specific actions, such as up/download speed, but not one that will cover all bases. Perhaps specify the areas that you want to test?– JivingsCommented Jul 23, 2012 at 23:03

I'm not sure what the best benchmark would be, but I'm looking for an empirical way to measure video performance and CPU performance, comparing my results to what I was able to previously achieve in a different distro or in a different configuration.– ZootCommented Jul 24, 2012 at 19:49

@Zoot: Have any luck with this? - am also looking for something - mainly to benchmark CPU for the moment.– Jon EgertonCommented Aug 1, 2012 at 8:43

iperf is a great program! for testing the network. Others elinux.org/RPi_Performance.– ArchHaskellerCommented Aug 4, 2012 at 18:35

@Haskeller Please make your comment as an answer so I can treat it like one. Thanks!– ZootCommented Aug 7, 2012 at 12:45

Iperf is an excellent program for measuring maximum bandwidth between networks.
#Sever listening on TCP port 1337
ip route
iperf -s -p 1337
#Sever listening on UDP port 1337
iperf -s -u -p 1337
#Client connecting to server IP(TCP)
iperf -c <IP_ADDR> -p 1337 -t <TIME> -i <PING_TIME> -f m -d
#Client connecting to server IP(UDP)
iperf -c <IP_ADDR> -u -p 1337 -t <TIME> -i <PING_TIME> -f m -d
From the elinux wiki
USB Bus(write to an external storage device)
dd if=/mnt/drivehere/test of=/dev/null bs=32M count=10 iflag=direct
SD card read and write
# write
dd if=/dev/zero of=~/test.tmp bs=500K count=1024
# read
dd if=~/test.tmp of=/dev/null bs=500K count=1024
CPU linpack
wget http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/linpackc.new
mv linpackc.new linpack.c
cc -O3 -o linpack linpack.c -lm
GPU benchmarking is quite hard since OpenCl isn't supported. A rough benchmark would be ioquake3 and glxgears for comparing the frame rate.You could also use OpenGl:ES as ppumkin noted.
Munin can also help measure performance by relating it to the previous configurations you had. How to setup munin

OpenGl:ES Benchmarking - I wish I could embed video answers. don't you? Commented Aug 7, 2012 at 21:34
