Not sure why you're bothering with the delays in the POC then.

One thought - if performance is an issue in this application, calling
the usleep() or sleep() functions is more efficient than DLYJOB.

Performance is never an issue in a proof-of-concept test, where I just need something that is fast enough to finish its Cycle ride in a reasonable amount of time, yet slow enough to give me time to SysRq-2 it.

And the real thing doesn't need to take any naps.
