While hijacking a thread for idle pedantry is something of a sport around here your comment is unusually pointless for the form. Go eat something, you'll feel better.

It's still widely used and not considered archaic in British and Australian English.

The definition is singularly, "while", with no extra connotation, other than it is as you said chiefly British.

"While" is, not surprisingly, much more widely used, "whilst" being more affected.
