Ooo. That's a good idea! Take it up a notch: build a
SETI@home-style client, and then you could build a
virtual testing farm! It could run as a background
task on the client side, fully pausable and
distributed. The client app could lock down an install
of the user agent so that any localized settings do
not cause erratic page rendering.
