Doubt about programs for testing Linux performance

Hello friends,

I'm working on a Thesis and right now I'm in a phase of comparing a Linux vs Windows performance in similar situations on the same machine.

I'm asking here because I would like help on this, since I've always worked in Linux as an Administrator and a user, never as a performance tester and I don't know too much about programs to measure it.

My Linux computer will be a LAMP server using Gnome as graphical interface and I'll test performance on it.
My windows might be a w server 200x, but that doesn't concern us here.

I don't know much about testing tools and performance tests, but I'm considering this:
Speed to write a big file on disk
Speed of creating high volume of small files on disk
recovery after failure (no idea how to do this test)
stability and reliability.

well, I'd like to know if anyone could help me proposing more tests I could do.
Besides, I'd like to know of a good performance testing program you'd recomend me, I googled a bit and found this webpage

Open source performance testing tools

full of test tools, but if anyone has experience with one or knows another one that might work for me, I'll gladly hear their advice.

Thanks in advance for your time, I hope you can help me with this.

Good Luck =)

X11PERFCOMP(1)						      General Commands Manual						    X11PERFCOMP(1)

NAME
x11perfcomp - X11 server performance comparison program SYNTAX
x11perfcomp [ -r | -ro ] [ -l label_file ] files DESCRIPTION
The x11perfcomp program merges the output of several x11perf(1) runs into a nice tabular format. It takes the results in each file, fills in any missing test results if necessary, and for each test shows the objects/second rate of each server. If invoked with the -r or -ro options, it shows the relative performance of each server to the first server. Normally, x11perfcomp uses the first file specified to determine which specific tests it should report on. Some (non-DEC :) servers may fail to perform all tests. In this case, x11perfcomp automatically substitutes in a rate of 0.0 objects/second. Since the first file determines which tests to report on, this file must contain a superset of the tests reported in the other files, else x11perfcomp will fail. You can provide an explicit list of tests to report on by using the -l switch to specify a file of labels. You can create a label file by using the -label option in x11perf. OPTIONS
x11perfcomp accepts the options listed below: -r Specifies that the output should also include relative server performance. -ro Specifies that the output should include only relative server performance. -l label_file Specifies a label file to use. X DEFAULTS
There are no X defaults used by this program. SEE ALSO
X(7), x11perf(1) AUTHORS
Mark Moraes wrote the original scripts to compare servers. Joel McCormack just munged them together a bit. X Version 11 x11perf 1.5 X11PERFCOMP(1)
