It seems after the recent V8 upgrade, it's no longer safe to assume there'll be 15 ticks per 1500ms. Lower it to 10 ticks.

This failed 19 PRs out of the last 100 CI runs in the latest reliability report.

Note that it's already with the V8 update that the time was increased from 1000ms.
I don't understand this test enough to judge whether the numbers of ticks are still testing what we want.

I don't understand this test enough to judge whether the numbers of ticks are still testing what we want.

I think as long as the number is not 0, it's "working", though may be working terribly bad if it doesn't have enough sticks for users to understand the profile, but that's not really an issue for Node.js to fix, and flaking the Node.js CI with V8 profiling inefficacy doesn't really help anyone..
