This was needed in the old days, where all the hotplug scripts did nothing better than sleep for seconds to work around timing issues. It made sure, that w continued to fork processes, while the machine was doing nothing than sleeping, but the maximim number of childs was already reached. This is no longer needed today, we do not run many of these scripts anymore.
