of course Pharo has an event queue, we call them announcements. That implies however that you want the code to execute as soon as something else happens. If you don't , fork and delay should be enough. With fork you dont need to wait for othet tasks to finish to execute your code, it will just put it to a thread and execute it concurently. If you want the code to run as soon as other tasks finish then of course you dont use fork.
