Seems to me that Radegast <http://radegastclient.org/wiki/Radegast> should do this pretty well.
It actually attempts to emulate the "casual user" with a minimal host footprint. At least with Diva distro r12224 (OpenSim 0.6.9) it seems to work with no problems. I have managed 200 avatars on my private sim this way (Sim: Athlon 6000+ 3 ghz, client: I7 920 3.5 ghz) I definitely agree that some "standard" test would be very helpful though!
