What test are you doing? kernel compile in a tight loop forever?
That kind of thing, yes: my usual test, two repeated make -j20s of a smallish kernel in 512MB RAM + 1or2GB swap, one in a tmpfs and one in an ext2 backed by a looped tmpfs file. (When things go badly wrong, little harm befalls the hard disk.)
