Hallo,

Not quite: "delay 0" will do exactly as it tells you: It will delay
zero milliseconds with is much less than one block: It's zero blocks. 

However "delay 0" compared to a direct connection will defer execution
for a logical step. 

Say you have a "t b b" and a "delay 0" connected to the right outlet,
plus a "print left" and "print right"  below these (sorry, can't type
brackets here so no ASCII). Then even when the right outlet of "t b b"
fires first, the "delay 0" will defer its bang, so that still the
"left" gets printed before the "right". Both get printed in the same
block, though, and at the same time.

Ciao
