This patch, as it stands, doesn't address execution times, it addresses
the possibility of some delay throwing the test script and gpiomon out of
sync and making the test fail.  So making the test more robust.

The toggle rate of the test is slow to reduce the likelyhood of sync
loss.  With this change it should be possible to increase the toggle
rate and so reduce the test duration, without impacting test reliabilty,
but that has not been done (yet).  And even then it would only reduce
the run time by a second or so.

Cheers,
Kent.
