Hey all,

I'm still investigating using Data Pump and I keep coming across examples
like this:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/05-mar/o25tuning.html

In "Code Listing 2" on the above page, there is a tight WHILE...LOOP with no
sleeps/waits.

Won't that chow heavily on a CPU while it's running?  Or is there an
implicit sleep/wait somewhere like the DBMS_DATAPUMP.get_status procedure?

TIA!

Rich

p.s.  The code linked above appears to come from the Data Pump API example
in the Oracle Database Utilities manual (10gR1 for me).
