These tests directly exercise the namespace controller (in kube-controller-manager), which can fall behind due to a combination of master node CPU saturation and the ephemeral namespace churn generated during parallel E2E runs. We observe flakes (timeouts) when this occurs. The tests are sensitive to CPU saturation, but not causing CPU saturation, so the goal of this change is to improve the CI signal until such time as the incidence of CPU saturation events in CI is reduced.

With this change, it passes 10/10 on the 4.21 job that was the basis of the related component readiness issue (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-67016): #30661 (comment).
