This would be a duplicate - reported.

But this is the 'better' of the two - the other should be closed and merged into this.

Con Kolivas, IIRQ. Good for a search, anyway...

How can I evaluate the new kernel performance with reference to the actual 2.6.32 kernel? any tools?

The OP is asking about tools to evaluate kernel performance. While I honestly have doubts whether that is what is required (or, maybe, all that is required) I'll have a go at it, anyway.
- Define what constitutes performance. (memory usage, execution time, latency, power consumption, 'smooth' multitasking (however you measure that), task switching efficiency and processor utilisation in a queued task environment...)
- Is it the case that certain applications are more important to you than others? The consideration on the desktop are probably quite different from the consideration running a LAMP stack, so you'd want to know if you have a restricted area of application.
- Have a look at Phoronix. They have a test suite and look at what they do. I'm not suggesting that you copy them, but you can understand what they do and learn from them, and a subset of their test suite might be quite useful to you. Or not, potentially, depending on the answers to the previous questions.
