+  <h3>Microtask queuing</h3>
+
+  <p>The <code data-x="dom-queueMicrotask">queueMicrotask()</code> method allows authors to schedule
+  a callback on the <span>microtask queue</span>. This allows their code to run after the
+  currently-executing <span data-x="concept-task">task</span> has run to completion and the
+  <span>JavaScript execution context stack</span> is empty, but without yielding control back to the
+  browser's <span>event loop</span>, as would be the case when using, for example, <code
+  data-x="dom-setTimeout">setTimeout(<var>f</var>,&nbsp;0)</code>.</p>
+
+  <p>Authors should be aware that scheduling a lot of microtasks has the same performance downsides
+  as running a lot of synchronous code. Both will prevent the browser from doing its own work, such
+  as rendering or scrolling. In many cases, <code
+  data-x="dom-window-requestAnimationFrame">requestAnimationFrame()</code> or
+  <code>requestIdleCallback()</code> is a better choice.</p>
