The above line does not mean wait around 'awhile', it means "run forever,
not giving anyone else any CPU time to do anything or *respond* to
anything". You are not 'cooperating' with Node or anyone else.
There are a number of ways/ideas to say "let me wait around until the
system/Node can respond", but this would be one replacement for the above
line:
while ( buffer == 0 )
process.nextTick();
With that you are saying "let me check on something fairly often, but if it
hasn't happened yet, give me control to the system/Node so it can do
'whatever' needs to be done".
