    Hi Martin,
    
    Just a quick thought:
    
    While it is not strictly a benchmark, perhaps a decent proxy would
    be to use the CUDACapability attribute that is likely already
    present in each slot with a GPU (assuming they are NVIDIA gpus, that
    is).  
    
    You could enter the following condor_status command to see if you
    feel that CUDACapability makes intuitive sense as a performance
    metric on your pool:
    
        condor_status -cons 'gpus>0' -sort
      CUDACapability -af name CudaCapability CudaDevicename
    
    Hope the above helps
    Todd
