A buildworld is indeed an excellent test of memory, CPU, drives
and cabling.
The memory tester is sysutils/memtest.
It's not a very scientific test, but one thing I do is a
make -j8 buildworld whilst I do a large tar operation,
optionally with compression. Just anecdotally it appears
that tar l
What I did to stress test the last time I did this was build mysql then
run
the stress benchmarking suite that comes with mysql. I think this is a
better way to do it than running a script, as it puts real-world load on
the
server. And that benchmark can take days to run depending on the

For hardware testing, the best is ports/math/mprime
In combination with memtest86, because mprime doesn't sweep all RAM.
If you have several processors, be sure to run several instances of
mprime (requires copying the whole mprime directory).
