(I'm sorry but I couldn't resist)
The best tools to benchmark a FreeBSD system:
Place the computer in a climate controlled room.
Turn up the room temperature to 48-50 degrees Celsius.
Place a hot plate on the server
Start the timer.
Boot the system and begin a build (but not install) sequence for rebuilding the operating system
While attempting to flood the machine with more network requests then it can handle
While downloading an up to date ports tree via csup from scratch
When every thing as completed or the server explodes, stop the timer.
And see if the kernel build will works after you stop the timer.
Assuming you don't get fired, you have just simultaneously stress tested and benchmarked the hardware ^_^
(Again sorry, but I just couldn't resist lol)
