Yes, it all appears to be synchronous.  However, only one bytecode
instruction is run in any given 3ms; any active tasks interleave their
instructions.  If you have two tasks running, they will each be getting
an instruction every other 3ms.  If you have three tasks, each one will
get one instruction every third 3ms timeslice.
