At work I log into a virtual Windows machine. I'm told it runs as fast as a PC, but I'm skeptical. Is there an application I can run on the machine that will tell me how faster the machine is actually running?
It would be nice if it ran on Windows and on Mac.
Updating with more details -- I was asked "why does it matter" -- here's why:
It matters because I'm a programmer and I need as much speed (CPU and memory) as possible to do my work. IMO, the virtual machine is noticeably slower than a basic $800 PC would be, but I need a way a proving it. Websites like Bandwidthtest.com can show me my internet speed, so I'm wondering if there's an app that can test my computer's speed.
If it does what you need it to do does it really MATTER? – Shinrai – 2011-03-14T14:19:48.220

@Robert - Okay, if it's actually subjectively slow that's different. As originally written it just sounded like skepticism just because. ;) – Shinrai – 2011-03-14T14:43:19.873
@Randolf, the full question appears above, thanks. – Robert Hume – 2011-03-14T14:49:12.927
