That's great work, thanks.  It's nice to know that it's the test that's
broken, not the code ;-)

A sleep would be fine, but even better than that would be a loop that monitors
/proc/cpuinfo, waiting for it to come down to 1 (with a timeout of course).
That way, we are guaranteed to wait exactly long enough, and no longer.

Ewan.
