To double the load, prepend "fork;" to the line. For example, four-times as much "read" load can be (attempted to be) generated via: 

perl -MFile::Find -e 'fork;fork;find(sub{@ARGV=$_;1while<>},"/")while 
+1'

My favorite is "Procs2", which is the only one I tested; most of these you don't want to test when anyone else is using the computer. (:
