I've seen this failure as well and also the test 3, test 5 and test 6
two of them have sleep 2s already, hence adding sleep 2 is not good
enough it only makes the race condition less probable.

What we should do instead is to get the new stastistic in loop with a
short (~0.1s) sleep util we get the expected value or until timeout has
been reached (~10s). And this should be done ideally as a function
called from each of the numa tests.
