Heh, script! Automatically begin a looped workload, then login multiple times and log some perfmon data. I haven't tried scripting mstsc.exe (it can be done, but its lame) but rdesktop can be scripted easily with usernames and passwords. It's very doable with little initial work. And the perfmon logged data would very nicely detail the info you could use to judge capacity.
