Would you have the time and inclination to do this?

Agreed. Monty mentioned in about July 2001 that they'd hired someone
(Anna something from memory) to make their benchmark test in a
multi-user fashion instead of a single user process. Hopefully that's
running nicely now. The OSDB software (another Open Source database
testing tool) has added the ability to generate large datasets in recent
CVS, so that's another avenue for testing with as well.
:-)
Regards and best wishes,
