I just shot an email before I saw yours. I have explained my points more
thoroughly in that email.

Yes, I assumed a delta delay when I said immediately. A delta delay looks
good to me because the wait (with empty and list) should have some yielding
effect. Actually this could be debated. I think a non-wait (no yielding)
effect could also be thought of.

I explained this in another email.
