If you look at the Python wiki as a prototype for what you want to do, you
might try:

    * Create lots of pages (a couple thousand at least)
    * Enable the antispam stuff and create a LocalBadContent page which
      contains a lot of regular expressions (100 or more)
    * Perform many simultaneous checkins which must be checked against all
      those REs ...
    * ... while an ill-behaved web crawler hammers away at the wiki
