Depends on your definition of easy:

(Sorry, it's 107MB).

I've only tested this on RedHat 9 systems. Install the RPMS under setup/, 
along with gnome-python2-gconf and XFree86-Xvfb from the distro. Then

cd rhythmbox; bin/make-runs 1 32000

Prior to Chas's first patch, this crashed with a kernel panic within 
minutes. Post-patch, it took over a day. (this bug is only on SMP 
systems).
