sar, vmstat, iostat and I guess some more come with AIX. There are also "monitor" and "topaz", but IIRC "monitor" is shareware and "topaz" costs money.

Thanks zaxxon

But I didn't ask about monitoring tools, I'm after Benchmark tools.

a search in comp.unix.aix reveals

For I/O performance, I use Bonnie:

For things like context switching latency and other
low-level tests, use lmbench:

In short, there are *oodles* of benchmarking tools available
for free on the Internet.
