I don't think anybody wrote a formal benchmark.
I believe the FillMaze and Polygonia demos had frames-per-second meters
associated with them, so they're a good place to start. You could also
try building a large project with one of the Orca languages and see how
long that takes. For "real world", booting into the Finder is a good
thing to time, though at some point it becomes bound by disk I/O.
