to make sure at any point broker doesn't exceed the limit. infact 1 sec is also 
a reasonable number most of the time because the load will not spike to take 
100% memory in 1 second but in any case it can be configurable. will take make 
sense?
   
   In the PR, he check for when to pause is done every 5sec and the check for 
when to resume is done at 1sec.
   
   But, irrespective of that, my point is that there's no way to guarantee an 
upper bound on the memory being used. With this approach, it will always go 
over the quota. Even a 1sec interval at 500MB/s can mean a lot memory above the 
quota.
