Makes sense. Real timeouts would still surface.

*) This change seems like a leftover:

  93 System.err.println("SystemGCTask with delay " + delayMS);

*) This change also does not look right -- should we instead increase delays in callers?

 101             ThreadUtils.sleep(delayMS * 10);


*) I think you can just say:

 for (int i = 0; (i < 4) && (System.currentTimeMillis() < endTime); i++)

 ...instead of rewriting the whole loop.
