There are already tools to do the "heavy web access"
We used it on our side to stress-test our new servers. There are

Don't worry.. i've killed servers b4 :) Not many get pass the

Raymond: Can u remove the initial page for linux.com.sg ? Kinda
troublesome to click thru lar..
Boonhwee: SLC site banner ???????????????
P.S. I was kidding bout "killing" a server.. but yar.. one or two was
begging for mercy... After 72 hours of testing, the LEDS were all hot to
touch.. hahaa
