Steps to do a hard test with your browser. Will not take too long and will force your N900 since each browser window typically uses resources similar to a different application (because of image data, running loops, controls, possibly javascript).

1. Get a random URL list in a text file, one by line. I've made one with 105 urls here.

2. Take the file to your N900, say, /home/user/MyDocs/urls.txt.

3. Decide how many windows you want open. Let's say, 40.

4. Make a shell loop to open one window for each address:

Code:

number=40
head -$number /home/user/MyDocs/urls.txt | while read url
do
  dbus-send --system --type=method_call \
--dest=com.nokia.osso_browser /com/nokia/osso_browser/request \
com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url string:"$url"
done

The command to open the window is taken from Phone control. I didn't test this, I don't want to stress my phone with unnecessary running apps, but it should work.

(OBS.: The "\" in the end of the line means the line goes on after the <enter>, it's like it was a long line. You can also use one long line beginning with "dbus" and ending with "$url" provided you remove the "\"s.)
