I think I will come back often to this one as I like benchmarking a lot (well, not as much as statistics but as benchmarks are often seen as statistics and share the hard fact of being false at 72,16% ;-) )

~- The mesa-demos package has a few useful things - teapot in particular is nicely simple.
~- sierpinski3d and glblur from xscreensaver-gl-extras also work well.
