Any ideas on ways we can measure different servers in terms of how fast they can execute queries? If they had the excact same data, we could run a query on 2 servers and time that, but assuming we can't do that since they don't have the same data.

Is Buffer Manager's Page Reads/ sec a reliable indication?

Maybe I should be asking is their any rating or a simple benchmark that I can use to determine the relative speeds of servers ability to execute queries, inserts, calculations etc.

With set statistics time on, I can time 2 queries on 2 different servers but that will not tell me which server is faster. Unless the servers were identical in terms of their Data and Table structures.
