pd processes a queue of things to do for each logical time. Those can be 
[metro] events, [delay] events, [line] events, etc., or gui events, from 
which messages can be sent, depth-first. sending to a [delay 0] will add 
something to the end of the queue of the same logical time. thus it is 
after the current depth-first processing is completely done, that a new 
depth-first process will start in the [delay] object.
