Arrange with your friendly local botnet owner to command his botnet to request history lists of much-edited articles. Each request is for 5000 edit histories. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I saw a botnet hitting my large site for a five-minute session, once per day on three consecutive days. I'm convinced it was merely a non-malicious test, because it never happened again. There were over 500 different IP addresses from all over the world that hit my site during each of those five-minute periods. I could tell it was a botnet because each request was of a similar nature.
