This actually wouldn't be too hard. First, lets consider that a quarter million is not a lot for a company. Also, if the company has a significant reach, or has significant expenses there is potential here to move the needle. If you have a company that has millions of users and you manage to earn or save a few cents per user (say, drive down the bandwidth cost) you can make a quarter million in profit for the company in a weekend. That said, if you have an employee who can make in one weekend twice what you're paying them in a year, they should probably be compensated with more equity.
