One small corrigendum: the tick2() is equivalent to tick(INF,0).

The difference is only when two callbacks occur at the same time. The
tick(INF,INF) will execute both callbacks in a single tick, while the
tick(INF,0) will terminate after the first callback is processed. The
"while(1) tick(INF,INF)" loop is thus slightly more efficient than the
"while (1) tick(INF,0)" loop.
