Just to be sure. When I tested the namespaces I made the node
clean from any daemon that could spoil the results and made the
cache hot for the files involved in testing. Otherwise the results
could have more than 5% of accuracy which is not enough...

If this is just a spawn test for threads, then I think this is
not enough. This test *is* important, but we have to check some
more issues when talking about the namespaces.

I will look at this test closer tomorrow for more competent answer.
