Description

Tool invocation is being reworked to support streaming of events that the agent can pass to the callback handler on behalf of the user. As part of this reworking, we updated the parallel tool execution logic to utilize a queue for sharing events with the main thread. There is some busy waiting however in the main thread that is slowing down overall tool execution. Adding a sleep to combat this. Will explore other options as well. This is just an immediate fix.

From simple experiments with the use_aws tool, invocation dropped from an average of 30 seconds to 5 seconds.
