uh, i haven't read that part of the code in detail, but wouldn't that be 
_before_ the next dsp tick instead? (I was likening sys_lock to the use of 
[delay] in a single-threaded setting, I wasn't suggesting to use the real 
[delay] in a multi-thread setting)

I was beginning to reply to this paragraph, but I realised that I don't 
understand the grammar of it. Could you please rephrase?
