CrashReporter actually sticks around after its done for some longish period of time (~45 seconds or so last I looked) so that it doesn't have to start up again on a subsequent crash. I am not aware of any way to disable that, and there's not any way to tell when CrashReporter is doing some vs. being idle as far as I can tell.

So, I'm not sure there's a way to implement your request without adding 45 second pauses into the run on every crash, and I'm not sure that'll be a win on average over just thrashing :(. I'm not sure there's a good solution here.

I haven't actually seen the 15 min pause that Stephanie has, though. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what CrashReporter actually did a few months ago to optimize things and what we do now is the best I could come up with :(.
