The expectation of the test here is that there is a background job running.
Depending on the job size is an indirect way to express run at least for x
seconds. This gives a variable runtime as it depends the how fast fio jobs gets
executed. Explicitly telling the runtime is my opinion more robust and documents
the indention better.
