From: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wag...@bmw-carit.de>

The child process start working as soon as they are forked. Sometimes
that leads to a workload pattern that no contention happens at all even
with a high number of processes. Since the main motivation of this
this is to benchmark the contention overhead let the clients wait
till all client processes are created.
