Description:
TBD
(Books Online description: “Occurs when memory request by a small query cannot be granted immediately due to other concurrent queries. Wait time should not exceed more than a few seconds, because the server transfers the request to the main query memory pool if it fails to grant the requested memory within a few seconds. High waits may indicate an excessive number of concurrent small queries while the main memory pool is blocked by waiting queries.”)
