C# - What is "tight loop code"?

In the following article the author VB Rocks refers to "tight loop code". What is "tight loop code"?

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/38555/WPF-ProgressBar

There are many situations where "tight loops" are required in code, such as when data is being read from a file. A standard coding approach is to open the file, then loop through the entire file, reading either lines, characters, or bytes in each pass. A progress bar may be used to report the progress of this operation.

AndyAinscow and CodeCruiser - I agree, in the context of this article, "tight-loop" code is code that's opaque to other processes (and the GUI).
