Time::HiRes disable a flapping test for CI
When running this test under heavy load we cannot assume the delta between two system calls... even when using a (nano)sleep Most Continuous Integration system will fail on this test at one point or the other.

+=head1 Disabling known flapping tests
+
+Some tests could fail under heavy load, whereas in most cases
+they would simply succeed. Usually, continuous integration systems
+will at one point or the other reach that problem.
+
+To disable these known tests, please set the environment
+variable CI to true.
