Bonnie is a disk and filesystem benchmark. I tend to run either 5 with a
200mb 'size' or 10 with a 100mb 'size'. You can find it in
/pub/Linux/system/benchmark/bonnie.tar.gz on sunsite.unc.edu.
What i've found to be a good stress test:
ping -f localhost
make -j zImage
bonnie * 5
netscape communicator
emacs running gnus
all at the same time. system is slow but still basically usable.
