If you want a GOOD load average, try a parallel make with 50 source files
(the nethack sources will do fine), that will do the trick !!
On our Sequent (Balance 8000 with 8 CPU's) it results in a load average above
10.0. The only problem is the size of your swap space, you run quickly out
of memory. Try it and have fun ?!!
