There is an event queue (the ActionCache) that takes user events and
dispatches them by scheduling them one timestep in the future.  This
accounts for the latency.

What do you mean by "anything"?  That you don't see something
happen on the screen?  Are you sure there aren't model events
being executed?

stopRunning is a method in HeatbugBatchSwarm which calls
[getTopLevelActivity() terminate].
