As I mentioned before. I'm using a PIII,500Mhz,128MB Machine. Kernel compiled with PREEMPT=y. I boot into runlevel 3 and start # hackbench 40 from the shell.
Just adjust the number so hackbench eats up all the memory.
I have some more test cases with real applications, but they are not so easy to reproduce. Hackbench resembles the forking server quite well.
