There is:

/usr/pkg/bin/lmbench/config-run
will config your host.  (Ensure that you have a hostname at this point.)

and:

/usr/pkg/bin/lmbench/results

will run the benchmark.

It stores the results in something like
/usr/pkg/share/lmbench/results/os/host.name

and /usr/pkg/share/lmbench/getsummary resultfile1 resultfile1 . . .

Will make a quick summary of the sort that we've been posting.
