[Paraview] Are there any standard benchmarks?

[Rick Angelini(CISD/CIV)]

How are you measuring performance?   I have a new cluster and I'd like 
to run some performance tests that compare GL rendering versus software 
rendering on multiple nodes across the cluster.    Is there a repeatable 
batch command (or similar) that can be run to measure performance?
