There is one of sorts in the NitrOS-9 project. It is included in the 
distribution disks, CMDS/megaread . Maybe not the most useful of benchmarks but 
it does measure I/O transfer rates.

The problem with benchmarks is you need a public archive of results on similar 
systems. Run a speed test on your own system with nothing to compare with and 
you aren't any wiser. :)
