Description

Several tests exercise multi-threads by looping and creating threads and starting them. The problem with this is that creating and starting a thread takes more time than running whatever is being tested, so everything completes, but there's no real contention (because the 1st thread finishes before the 2nd starts, etc.). Fix by using same technique as used in MultiThreadUtils
