That's the test for T47684: getExpandedArguments should not count toward the 10-second Lua execution limit. It sets up a dummy parser tag with a callback that busy-loops for 500 milliseconds. Then it evaluates wikitext {{#invoke:TestArgumentParsingTime|f2|<scribuntodelay/>}}, where the called function doesn't reference the passed argument (it does do a recursive preprocess), and tests the elapsed CPU-time-in-Lua as measured by the luasandbox extension. The parse should take only a few milliseconds in Lua (locally it takes about 2.3ms), and the threshold for failing the test is 250 milliseconds.

So if something is sometimes making that take almost 700 milliseconds, it's probably worth trying to figure out what that is. I haven't ever seen this failure in Scribunto's own test runs, so I'm far from convinced this has to do with Scribunto rather than something in Wikidata.

@Anomie @aude Can we close this? Haven't see such a failure in a while now.
