That can speed up a few points when testing on an idle system, but it can't
speed anything up when testing on a busy system. You still need to set some
upper bound on waiting for events to complete, to detect when the event isn't
happening at all.
Aside from that, the simple sleeps in the current test suite could be replaced
by loops of short delay checks instead. Again, you still need a reasonable
upper bound on timeouts for these checks, and those upper bounds will still
need to be extended when running on a busy (or slow) system.
