Answer 1

SpinWait is design to wait without yielding the current timeslice

It is designed for situations where you know you'll want to do something in a very short time so losing you timeslice will be excessive.

I was under the impression Thread.Yield(x) for any value of x < the thread quantum was equivalent, including zero though I have no benchmarks to that effect.
