The Call queue and the Events queue are drained individually in
alternating fashion. The first 0-delay event will not run until after
the Call queue is empty.

The Call queue by design lacks anything similar to the 'heavy' event
loop exit point. So an explicit 0-delay event is used to break heavy
sequences of Calls into separate chains.

Using ScheduleCall immediately would be counter-productive in many of
these cases.
If you can identify 0-delay events which should actually be scheduled
immediately patches converting them to Call's are welcome.
