MUSBUS (Monash University Suite for Benchmarking UNIX Systems) sounds
like what you're looking for.  From the man page:

DESCRIPTION
     MUSBUS is designed to support multi-user performance meas-
     urements that are both realistic and comparable between
     machines and systems.  The principal performance metric is
     the time (CPU and elapsed) required to perform a selected
     workload as a function of increasing concurrent load.

     A description of the workload profile is one of the inputs
     to MUSBUS, and consequently MUSBUS is a benchmarking tool,
     rather than a benchmark per se.

     In addition to the multi-user test, MUSBUS supports a bat-
     tery of smaller tests designed to measure some aspect of
     hardware speed or system implementation efficiency.  These
     are diagnostic, rather than performance, tests.

It is available from the archives of the UNIX-SOURCES mailing list
(volume 11, issues 29-32).

Disclaimer: I haven't used MUSBUS myself.
