From 479bed9509bc6911b9c2ac6b1813e7e519aca28e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jacob Ioffe Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2026 18:22:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix flaky multiprocessing cache timing assertion The test_multiple_processes test asserted that each process's second (cached) call was <50% of its first call's duration. When the cross- process cache works correctly, the second process finds p1's result already cached, making both calls sub-millisecond. OS scheduling noise then randomly violates the ratio, causing spurious CI failures. Replace the per-process timing assertion with a check that at least one process actually computed the result (took >=50ms from the sleep), validating the cache works without depending on precise timing ratios.
