"I've sped up "wait for something to happen" tests in other contexts and found the best solution to be a polling loop so that success is as fast as possible and failure may be slow." more_reliable_tests.patch tries to fix tests to not depend on timings. But it is not always possible to synchronize without "arbitrary sleep". test_sleep.patch helps to detect such unstable test.
