Mainly small systems will benefit from scheduled tasks. These systems
typically suffer from lack of RAM. One problem of the AVR platform is,
that each thread needs to reserve stack memory for interrupts. If we are
able to move the work of several threads to a single one, this will save
a lot of RAM for most applications. Especially stack memory will be
shared among tasks.
