solving few replication related tests race conditions which fail on slow machines
bugfix in slave buffers test: since the test is executed twice, each time with
a different commands count, the threshold for the delta can't be a constant.
And many other related Github issues... all reporting the same problem.
There was probably just not enough backlog in certain unlucky runs.
I'll ask people that can reporduce if they see now this as fixed as
well.
Slow systems like the original Raspberry PI need more time
than 5 seconds to start the script and detect writes.
After fixing the Raspberry PI can pass the unit without issues.
