Speedometer is a shareware benchmarking suite for 68k Macs (and PPCs
emulating the 68k).
Speedometer allows you to run benchmarking tests on hardware, such as
hard disk, CPU, FPU, RAM, etc... and it lets you compare results and
show graphs and various hardware information about your old Mac or
emulator. You can also save your results to a Machine Records file for
use in a later comparison. This version expresses its performance
ratios relative to a Macintosh Classic.
The author of Mini vMac used (and offered for download) version 3.23
for testing that emulator.
Note: Algorithm changes occurred at v3.01 and v3.1; so absolute
benchmark results across those version boundaries are not strictly
comparable.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k
For some reason, this (v3.23 at least) is very unstable in QEMU-68k
emulation of System 7.5.5, even with minimal extensions, where it
frequently quits with a type 16 error. Works fine in Mini vMac (Plus
and II).
Also works in QEMU-PPC, and in SheepShaver, running Mac OS 9.
