QwikMark offers fast, simple, portable system benchmarking

QwikMark has got it all: it's tiny (84KB), completely portable, free, and simple. But what does it do?

It tells you how fast (or slow) your computer is, with just a single click. Just get it, fire it up, and click "Run All Tests." QwikMark will then crunch some numbers and in a couple of minutes, it will show you how many gigaflops your CPU can process, your memory bandwidth, and your disk transfer speed.

While the interface is very simple, it is lacking in just one area: quick comparisons. I have a feeling that my 1MB/sec disk transfer rate is incredibly slow, but that's just a gut feeling. Maybe it's actually blazing fast and I should feel very proud of my rig, but QwikMark won't help me with figuring that out.

Still, if you need a quick and free benchmarking tool, this is a very nice option.
