Not sure Georg Cantor would agree with you.  One infinite loop might 
only go through a countable (but infinite) number of iterations, i.e. 
aleph null, whereas another might go through an uncountable number of 
iterations.

Suppose one loop iterates over just the rationals, while another 
iterates over the reals.  The former iterates fewer times than the 
latter, even though both are infinite.

Still, your point is well taken. :)
