  Christoph> Which benchmark would you recommend for this?

I don't know about "recommend", but I think SPECweb, SPECjbb,
the-UNIX-multi-user-benchmark-whose-name-I-keep-forgetting, and in
general anything that involves process-activity and/or large working
sets might be interesting (in other words: anything but
microbenchmarks; I'm afraid).
