IMHO, the best benchmark is the application you want to run on your SMP
system.

If you just want to see the benchmark, but don't have any use for the
computing power (you have no application that you're planning to use)
you could try some of the real applications out there.

Suggestions:
 rc5client (integer heavy) or seti@home (fp heavy) or combinations
 make -j<N>  on a kernel compile
 make -j<N>  on eg. POVRay or radiance rendering

Also try out I/O while processing.  Eg. disk-to-disk copy and X benchmarks
while running compute-havy jobs.  Or network I/O (if you have fast- or gigabit
ethernet, you can get a very larger number of interrupts here).
