How much value do these cpuclock tests actually have? Maybe we should
just remove them, given that their test objective is so difficult to
model in current execution environments.
Maybe we could measure clock discontinuities on the CPU-burning thread
and detect CPU stealing this way. But I'm not sure if this would be
worth it.
Thanks,
Florian
