You could also exploit that || short-circuits in the shell and replace

The automake *tests* intentionally use modern shell syntax and

Rather than assume such coarse delays, re-use existing logic for
probing the current filesystem resolution. This speeds up the
testsuite significantly. On my system, it speeds -j1 up quite a
