The `MainAction` and `ShellAction` before launching the test, first acquire a lock. The lock acquisition can be time consuming and depends on how long an already running test from that directory takes to complete. This lock acquisiton time isn't reported anywhere in the jtreg action's `section` in the report. Because of this, it sometimes makes it difficult to determine where the unaccounted time is spent.
