There's a speed test .dsk file included with the appalm emulator for 
Palm PDAs - palmapple.sourceforge.net - not sure if it's available 
anywhere in plain .dsk format, it's been converted for that package to a 
palm .pdb (not sure offhand if the included .dsk->.pdb utility can 
reverse the process).

PS My Palm IIIx runs about 1/8th the speed of a //e - certainly not 
great, but amazingly OK for text-based games like Star Trek (esp. with a 
keyboard attached - Graffiti is extremely slow).
