That is a nice idea! Something that has been suggested in the past was to
simply run the whole regression test which resembles 'normal' load as it
covers a variety of tasks. So you could
cd gcc-build && /usr/bin/time make check-all
cd icc-build && /usr/bin/time make check-all

Simon has a page here

Also, we just started an R-Forge project aiming to collect gpu/cpu benchmarks
and cutoff points (ie to answer "who wins when"). That will require some
basic infrastructure building as well. Do you want to join in the effort?
We're at
https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/gcb
but as I said there isn't much there yet...
