Benchmarking distributions would be a waste of time. How are you going to 
compare a distribution where everything is compiled for i386 vs. one where 
everything is compiled for i686? Then you will encounter the differences 
due to the kernel being used, the number of background processes each 
distro starts by default, the use of GNOME vs. KDE, and even different 
window managers.

What is it you really want to know about the different distributions?
