One way to execute something right after the test function is to implement
the pytest_pyfunc_call, which is used to call python test functions:

@pytest.mark.hookwrapper
def pytest_pyfunc_call(pyfuncitem):
    outcome = yield
    failed = outcome.excinfo is not None
    if failed:
        wait_a_moment()

You might even use marks to add this "wait time" only to marked functions,
instead of all tests.

I don't have time to look up and see if this will work with interaction
with the capture plugin, but it's worth a shot.

HTH,
Bruno.
