On the other hand - the proposed approach with busy waiting was the
natural one to check if accounting from getrusage is correct.

Maybe you (or anybody else from the community) have a better idea on how
to force the process to be "running" (active) for some time?

Maybe I could modify the C test code to perform following bash
operation:
cat /dev/urandom | gzip -9 > /dev/null

and replace /dev/urandom with some large (generated in place) file?
However, this would pose additional dependencies (gzip) on glibc test
suite.
