The test would get 200-300 samples but randomly miss 1-2 of the 3 target methods across retry attempts. Root cause: Using CPU-bound loops doesn't reliably test wall clock profiling. The profiler is designed to capture threads in ANY state (WAITING, PARKED, BLOCKED, RUNNABLE), but tight loops made timing unpredictable across platforms. Previous approach issues: - method1/method2: 1M iterations of volatile increments - method3: 500-2000 iterations of I/O operations - Execution time varied wildly based on CPU speed and cache behavior - No guarantee methods would run during 5ms sampling windows Solution: Use Thread.sleep(100) in all three methods.
