waitUntil suspends both SQF functions and SQF scripts. In functions, the calling script is still in suspension due to waiting for a return from the call command. The game engine will continue, however. See Function for more detail.

It seems that the condition will be checked every, or almost every, frame. This could lead to performance problems, if your conditions are complex and/or rely on intensive function calls. Consider using less eager alternatives, if you don't require checking the condition all the time.
