Thank you for the patch!

So far (in 3 runs), it looks like 14000 is enough. But I guess it is
still a bit too early to conclude that.

(Your patch has been introduced in the net-next-2024-09-19--15-00 branch.)


Personally, I would not be chocked if the tolerance was even 10x higher
to cope with this very slow environment where we care less about timing
I think. But if less works, that's good:

Just one question for later: in the GitHub repo, some tests set the
tolerance in the .pkt file, will it be OK for these tests? I guess yes,
because the max they set is 10k, but I just want to double-check.


(Note that it is now easier to spot other errors :) e.g.)
