For pure load testing there is a nice program called Siege (http://freshmeat.net/redir/siege/9525/url_homepage/www.joedog.org) which doesn't have all the features of Jmeter, but is much less resource intensive.
On my Dual 1.7 Xeon machine, I can't even run 100 threads with Jmeter, but siege with 200 didn't even use 50% of my CPU. I wrote a (ugly, really ugly) Java program to convert a .jmx file from Jmeter to a siege URL list, as siege doesn't have a proxy server for recording scripts. I can send it to you if it's not in the latest release of siege yet.
