0.12's pause() resumes whenver all input has been handled, not at the next
 heartbeat.

I still see no need for creation of new tasks. At least, I don't see a reason
 why waiting for the next heartbeat is a problem. If it can be explained to me
 why one second is too long to wait then Riche's solution seems amicable.
