The test is merely measuring time around a busy wait with window.performance.now(), which is monotonic time.  If the system is busy (as in running a gazillion other layout tests concurrently), the test process can be pre-empted with no guarantee that it will resume executing in time to read the end sample time within any duration that the test expects.  In this case, the test is expecting a duration of 100ms.

This test is just a bad test.
