As for your other question - if a user should be allowed to do that sort of load, it depends on the tasks of the machine (dedicated to you or shared by a team etc.) I think by default there are no imposed limits, and the good balance is individually defined.

Either way, there is a lot of tools in way of resource management, per-process (ulimit), per-user/project, perhaps rcap for a zone dedicated as a constrained sandbox for such things...

Note you might disallow swapping and so processes that don't have enough RAM would fail a malloc and die or handle that otherwise. This would let the system not lag due to swap i/o ;)
