How to tell how many hashes/sec the bitcoin core app on osx is running? I'm curious how many hashes per sec my cpu is able to perform, is there some way to check this?

This is a follow-up to this question.
Yes Erik, the mining feature is still built-in and you can check how many hashes your CPU can perform. Although it's pointless and you cannot earn anything, it is still a fun experiment that people like to try. If you have a bitcoin core installed and synced with the network, you can just simply open the command console and type in and enter:

setgenerate true

This will initiate your CPU and will start mining. 
You can then get your hashrate by typing in 

getmininginfo

Your hashrate will be shown in integer format and you should see a number like 1-3 million hashes per second.
To turn off the mining, because you will just be wasting energy type in

setgenerate false
