Subject: tests: Make parallel VM start a bit more resource friendly
X-Git-Tag: hostap_2_4~706
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5554fbef46710c1317dc7f35889bc7e888026a25;p=thirdparty%2Fhostap.git

tests: Make parallel VM start a bit more resource friendly

Wait one second between each kvm start to avoid hitting large number of
processes trying to start in parallel. This allows the VMs to be started
more efficiently for parallel-vm.py runs with large number of VMs.
