I used to do/provide my own benchmarking but ImageMagick changed the 
meaning of its options (producing different results) and so the 
results for the same command options were not meaningful any more.

It is not difficult to create your own benchmark.  The benchmark 
should depend on what you intend to do with the software.

GraphicsMagick includes its own 'benchmark' subcommand which can be 
used to benchmark any other GraphicsMagick command in order to tune 
the software or to see the influence of options:

GraphicsMagick 1.4 snapshot-20161224 Q16 http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/
Copyright (C) 2002-2016 GraphicsMagick Group.
Additional copyrights and licenses apply to this software.
See http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/www/Copyright.html for details.
Usage: gm benchmark options command ... 
Where options include one of:
   -duration duration  duration to run each benchmark (in seconds)
   -iterations loops   number of command iterations
   -rawcsv             CSV output (threads,iterations,user_time,elapsed_time)
   -stepthreads step   step benchmark with increasing number of threads
Followed by some other GraphicsMagick command
