Prevent thread execution in a spin-wait loop

public
class procedure SpinWait(aIterations: LongWord); Static;
Description
SpinWait blocks the execution of the thread in a spin-wait loop: it simply executes some simple instructions.
This can be used to create short time delays without an immediate thread switch (e.g. SysUtils.Sleep can cause a thread switch). The input parameter (aIterations) specifies the number of spin loops.
