ISTR reading somewhere, I think it was the cockroft book [1] about setting up your web server to effectively "echo 1 > /dev/audio" every time it had a hit. Why not have a speaker that blips for every operation per second that it does. I can imagine some quite interesting tunes being played.[2]
[1] If you run solaris boxes and you care about performance you really should read it. ISBN: 0130952494 [2] There are some wonderful tunes out there played by people on old computers with AM radios with each note being formed by executing a number of instructions.
