rocking the bike while standing/sprinting

this is a question spawned for the sprint photos in a recent post.

What are the pros and cons of rocking the bike so dramatically in a sprint or tough out-of-the-saddle climb?

I know that a certain amount of rocking is nearly unavoidable, but at what point does violently rocking the bike actually begin to rob power from the rider (if at all)?
