Currently, the concurrency and events system only handles pending events at
specific points, depending on runcore and opcodes. (For example, when you
use the sleep opcode, when you enter a new predereferenced section, or when
you schedule a new event.)

We need to figure out exactly when, how, and how often to run our event loop
more frequently.
