if your system also has a usleep then you might be able to narrow down to a much smaller value than 1 second;
if not you can for a test modify runtests.pl and insert just a call to usleep;
at the top is already a commented line:
#use Time::HiRes qw( gettimeofday );
change that to:
use Time::HiRes qw( usleep );

and for testing just insert below a call to usleep ...

I'm not that familar with the test suite, but I guess its also possible to add such a usleep / sleep only for these two tests, or maybe its already sufficient to add a sleep only after 225...

perhaps it works also without sleep if you just swap the tests...?
./runtests.pl 226; ./runtests.pl 225

just some thoughts....
