Are there any currently accepted (and freely available) tools for
benchmarking the performance of VMS systems ? It would be interesting
to see relative performance both on physical hardware and emulated
hardware (such as the above as well as the various Alpha emulators).

I'm not looking for something which is industrial strength, but rather
a tool to get a quick feeling for relative performance between various
hardware options.

Thanks,

Simon.
