The PLB (Picture Level Benchmark) probably meets your needs.  It is
based around a PHIGS-type model, although it is possible to have a PLB
program on top of something else, like GL.

Look in your nearest X11R5 source tree under .../mit/demos/gpc

GPC stands for "General Performance Charcteristics" or some such.  The
gpc implementation that comes with X11R5 (which includes PEX) is based
on PEX which, for the R5 release, looks like PHIGS.
