I'm not quite sure what the problem is - RUN_ONCE doesn't wait for
specific events, it simply runs the event loop once, and it seems to work as
it should in your example.

If I run your script, then the reason the timer isn't invoked instantly
is simply because it hasn't elapsed yet - try with delay -1 for example,
then it will be invoked instantly. For positive delays, it will only be
triggered when it's time has elapsed.

I am not sure why you think it is unreliable - 0.9 means "after 0.9 seconds",
not before.
