Peter, I wonder if this isn't a typo for "morosidade". That would seem to chime with "o mais curto possível". Porosidade doesn't seem to make much sense in this context.

work interruptions/delays

Por favor, veja o exemplo abaixo em português

"A intensificação do trabalho é um fenômeno antigo na história do capitalismo ocidental. Foi descrito por Marx (7), que se valeu da metáfora da porosidade do trabalho para explicá-la. Tanto menos recortado por paradas, interrupções, tempos de descanso, intervalos de qualquer ordem – genericamente chamados de "tempos mortos" – mais intenso é o trabalho, mais energias são consumidas do trabalhador e mais resultados produz. "
