How to measure kernel performance?

How to measure kernel performance?

[Joseph]

Hi,
 I want to know how to measure the current kernel performance.
 (Is there any benchmark tool available?)
 But I have no idea. Could anybody tell me how to do this?
 Any help is appreciated.

Best Regards,
             Joseph

I haven't tried this myself, but it looks interesting:

I started using it again recently.  I really like it.  I believe the
package on oss.sgi.com doesn't include a graphical monitoring package.
I don't think SGI ever released that for Linux, which is too bad because
it's really cool[1].  

Michal Kara worked on creating a graphical monitoring package called
PCPMON[2] but I haven't tried it out yet.
