Any basic, free Windows benchmarking apps for use within guests & hosts?

I'd like to be able to benchmark the performance of a guest vs. host and guest vs. guest on different platforms under Windows XP.

Are there any simple benchmark apps capable of doing this that anyone likes?

Free and emphasis on simple -- I don't need to get deep into 3D performance or go off the deep end with I/O, just something simple like the old Winmark-type benchmarks.
