/**
* Low-latency idle strategy to be employed in loops that do significant work on each iteration such that any
* work in the idle strategy would be wasteful.
* <p>
* The NoOpIdleStrategy should be used with care:
* <ol>
* <li>It could increase power consumption.</li>
* <li>The increased power consumption could lead to thermal throttling causing an overall performance drop.</li>
* <li>It could consume resources that otherwise would be used by the hyper-sibling.</li>
* <li>It could lead to a memory order violation at the end of the loop causing a pipeline reset.</li>
* </ol>
* The {@link BusySpinIdleStrategy} might be a better alternative in some scenario's.
