In which case should i use task.wait() in a loop?

[Temateite]

Hello, I have a lot of loops in my game (many for i,v and some repeat and while).

I know it’s possible to use task.wait() to slow down the loop, and from what i’ve heard it is better for performance, but I don’t know when I should use it? Here are a few examples to illustrate what I mean. Do you know when i should use it and when i shouldn’t use it ? Do you usually put a task.wait() or never ? Thank you for the help

for i,v in workpace:GetChildren() do
print('hi')
task.wait()
end

for i,v in workpace:GetChildren() do
print('hi')
end

local connexion = true
while connexion do 
print('hi')
task.wait() -- Or without
end

It almost entirely depends on how intensive the loop is. If the loop will break in a small amount of time, its probably not neccessary.

for i,v in workpace:GetChildren() do
print('hi')
task.wait()--not really necessary unless there is a large amount of parts in the workspace
end

the point of waiting inside of a loop is to let the processer take a break. code will run as fast as possible, so a unregulated loop will take all the resources it can get to run as fast as possible (I think a loop can loop 60 million times a second, but I don’t remember)

a for i,v in pairs loop would loop mabye… 30, 500 times. it depends. but that’s nowhere near as many times as (as fast as possible)

Alright thank you for your help , i’ll do some test to see
