Another useful async function might be...

async def yielding():
pass

In a routine is taking very long time, just inserting "await yielding()" in the long calculation would let other awaitables run.

That's really up to the scheduler, and a function like this should be provided by the event loop or scheduler framework you're using.

If the async loop only has one coroutine (awaitable) in it, then it will be just like calling a regular function. No waiting would occur.
