Can you elaborate a little on this?

If the event is zero-delay it should be picked up immediately, at least
unless you are doing a chain of zero-delay events without using an
"primary" event.

Hmm.. in Squid-2 the loop delay is automatically adjusted to account for
timer events. Think the same should be done in Squid-3, and to have
other kinds of events feed a notification to the main event engine.
