Consider two sibling groups A and B; both have 50% bandwidth, but A's
period is twice the length of B's.
-* group A: period=100000us, runtime=10000us
- - this runs for 0.01s once every 0.1s

This means that currently a while (1) loop in A will run for the full period of
B and can starve B's tasks (assuming they are of lower priority) for a whole
