It would be really great if we could find "workload owners" who would

I'm interested in such a workload test. At my job we run various other
servers which have a classic virus/antispam environment. And unfortunatly
clamd behaves not very well on FreeBSD (see mails to freebsd-threads), and
this happens even on 2-CPU systems.
I think its not very difficult to make a scripted load test, with
2/4/6/8/16/32 scans in parallel, with ULE or BSD scheduler.
As long as it is realistic and reproduceable, it sounds good to me.
Btw: what is the best method to profile a threaded application to see where
it spends the most CPU time ?
Try looking at system pmc support -- using system pmcs, you can profile a
variety of factors (including CPU use, cache misses, etc) across the whole
system (kernel and application), so it's a really neat tool.
