Here's the appropriate section of the FAQ:

Benchmarks:

   Gabriel Lisp Benchmarks are available by anonymous ftp as
   ai.toronto.edu:/pub/gabriel-lisp-benchmarks.tar.Z.
   The benchmarks are described in the book "Performance Evaluation of
   Lisp Systems", by Richard Gabriel. 

   Lucid CL contains a set of benchmarks in its goodies/ directory,
   including Bob Boyer's logic programming benchmark, a benchmark to
   create and browse through an AI-like database of units, a CLOS speed
   test, a compilation speed test, TAKR (the 100 function version of TAK
   that tries to defeat cache memory effects), CTAK (A version of the
   TAKeuchi function that uses the CATCH/THROW facility), STAK (A version
   of the TAKeuchi function with special variables instead of parameter
   passing), DERIV and DDERIV (Symbolic derivative benchmarks written by
   Vaughn Pratt), DESTRU (a destructive operation benchmark), DIV2 (a
   benchmark which divides by 2 using lists of n ()'s), the FFT benchmark
   written by Harry Barrow, FPRINT (a benchmark to print to a file),
   FRPOLY (a Franz Lisp benchmark by Fateman based on polynomial
   arithmentic), Forest Baskett's PUZZLE benchmark (originally written in
   Pascal), the TPRINT benchmark to read and print to the terminal, a
   benchmark that creates and traverses a tree structure, and TRIANG
   (board game benchmark). Some of the benchmarks may work only in Lucid.
