Ah, benchmarking...

If you just want to know what the max speed is, check the processor
clock frequency.

But if you want to know how much faster it will do some task that
you care about, you're pretty much in stopwatch territory.  In principle
it would be possible to use the internal IIgs clock to automatically
time an application, but since most applications you would care about
are interactive and don't run from an EXEC file, automating the clock
reading isn't worth the trouble.
