Benchmarking is exceptionally complicated. For starters read the
benchmarking FAQ - it'll give you an idea of how complicated it can get.
If you are upgrading the kernel you are going to be looking at timing
response times of packages, the start-up time of packages and suchlike. I'd
use a stopwatch!
I don't think you'll see any improvement in disk performance, so software
like bonnie isn't going to be much use to you...
Start with the benchmarking FAQ!

Subject: [newbie] benchmarking
I'm about to get up my courage to compile my own kernel, and I'd
like to be
able to benchmark my system both before and after the build, so I
can see
how much (if any) speed enhancement I get for my effort.
How would you recommend that I benchmark my linux box's performance
?
TIA,
kennM
