I think you'd need an increase of an order of magnitude or two (possibly more) in some cases to make this work: notice that the failure message from the itimer_virtual test gives an indication of how much virtual time *has* actually passed, and in some cases it's none at all (to within the timer resolution).
Also, this doesn't seem like a very future-proof solution.
Reducing the time intervals (0.2, 0.3, ...) probably isn't much of an option either: I'd expect difficulties with timer resolution.
