Iterative waits for each driver station packet for each iteration, whereas your original code runs in a tight loop without waiting for input. If you added a 20ms sleep in your loop, it would be vaguely equivalent to the iterative version.

Either way, you should add some sleep to your loop, otherwise you'll starve the rest of the threads on your system and you'll encounter problems. I'd recommend using iterative robot instead though, then you don't have to worry about things like that.
