Here is my rather simple VM stressing test. Just opening some applications
on the machine I use every day. Tested with 2.4.4 and 2.4.6-pre3.
Machine OFF. Power ON. Some processes running in the background, but iddle
(process list available on request, should it matters). Each section shows
output from "free" with additional applicatons started. Once KDE, Mozilla,
Konqueror and StarOffice are loaded, they are closed in the reverse order
as the were started.
