BuddyPress.org

I want to upload say 500 to a 1000 test profiles so I can really check out my BuddyPress SU install and the functionality. These would be profiles with images and personal data fields I set up on the pages. I could upload/import it from a cvs file I create in excel. How could I upload these profiles so I do not have to manually set them up creating separate e-mail accounts, which is a lot of work?

I also imagine each profile page is allowed one photo?

ps. I posted this question under misc, and no replies so sorry if this is a double post I am wondering if it was the wrong category
