If only all problems in software now were like this.

There was a ROM routine which made it save some memory to tape. You could run it on every Spectrum in Smiths to make it look like it was loading and come back later to find out how big the queues were getting. Bonus points for changing the screen colour to black and printing "Bytes: <name of latest blockbuster Ultimate game here>" before calling it.
