Oops, I'm sorry about not being clearer about that.

You consider 34 seconds a long time? Heh, the test suite we have at my
work takes on the order of twenty minutes to run...

You can see the individual test runtimes to get an idea of where the
time's going. The longest tests are things that parse the entire
consensus. The sleep() calls you mentioned account for precious little
(in total a few seconds) which is mostly to test things like "Tor
emits a BW event every second". Patches welcome.

See "Run integration targets in parallel" on...
