How about this for processor churn?
perl -e '$_="abcd"x100000;while(1){y/abcd/bcda/}'
perl -e '@_=0..1000000;while(1){foreach(@_){++$_,--$_}}'
perl -e '@_=0..100000;while(1){foreach(@_){$a=$_/++$_;--$_}}'
The first exercises about about 8MB of memory fairly heavily.
The second beats up 64MB of memory with light mathops.
The third eats 9MB with a heavier math op.
Obviously you can tweak how much memory is eaten with
monster number in there... HTH.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
