While your using whatever CPU user upper you choose, don't forget to add a
small perl or shell script that will.
1. Pipe a gig of /dev/random to disk.
2. Delete the file.
3. Repeat.
Oh, and another perl script to allocate and deallocate 10meg random
variables works well too... or there's always
#!/usr/bin/perl
$a = 'crap';
while ( 1 ) {
$a .= $a;
}
... which is always fun for a laugh, thus filling your memory with 'crap'.
