busy-waiting or spinning is a technique in which a process
repeatedly checks to see if a condition is true, such as
whether keyboard input is available, or if a lock is
available. Spinning can also be used to generate an
arbitrary time delay, a technique that was necessary on
systems that lacked a method of waiting a specific length
of time. On modern computers with widely differing
processor speeds, spinning as a time delay technique often
produces unpredictable results unless code is implemented
to determine how quickly the processor can execute a "do
nothing" loop.
