It's not "waiting", it's doing the ANALYZE once every ten seconds, just like you told it to.
Perhaps it'd be a good idea to emit the command tag on receiving a non-tuple-bearing result, just to make this more obvious.
Yes, the command tag would be a good idea, combined with the watch time that other commands returning tuples have, giving something like that: Watch every 2s Fri May 3 10:01:04 2013
