I don't know how is a sleep of 1 second going to be harmful here instead of keeping a busy wait. Even if a=b is going to take 1 week as u say, isn't a sleep of 1 second, if nothing, would save some CPU resources instead of blindly looping for ever ? Aren't busy waits dangerous from CPU resources point of view ? Won't it keep my CPU busy for ever. Also, if there's a sleep of 1 second, is it going to give me some saving in CPU resources or not ?
It's not the sleep that people are saying is harmful. It's the waiting in a loop in a transaction.
