I don't know that any true benchmark software is going to provide significantly valid results. A good deal of the "slowness" users report is as a result of concurrent software (legitimate and spy/adware) running in the background. Your standard benchmark application will run its battery of tests at an elevated priority. Thus, your benchmark may drastically understate the actual perceived performance improvement after you finish your cleaning. You may in fact be doing yourself a great disservice...
