Previously we checked if /proc was alive by reading /proc/uptime twice
with a 1 second sleep between calls, so that it had time to update.
This got a complaint of an entire 1 second delay, so we improve the
check to be much faster without sleep. We cannot continue to use
/proc/uptime as it only has a 10ms resolution.
