What can we do about this?
As for automake: can we (you :) somehow modify the computation of the
sleep value to determine if autom4te can handle the HiRes testing or not
(i.e., has the patch installed)? And then use the longer sleep in
automake testing if needed.

Hadn't noticed this before. Maybe you could see what tests are currently
taking the longest to run,
I modified my autom4te using the attached patch,
Thank you very very much for finding this, Bogdan.
I'm glad that Paul has already installed it in Autoconf.
I can't easily confirm it for myself right now, but I'm hopeful.
(Maybe Frederic or others can try with the development autoconf.)
