I am mostly with Radu on this topic. I think there are some use cases
where it really would be advantageous to submit a larger batch, even
if this means waiting. True, these use cases were very seldom in the
early days of rsyslog and may still be, but I think it's something one
might validly want.

The thought hit me that we are loking at this wrong.

The problem is overloading the receiver with too many small batches.

rather than trying to define batch size, isn't what we really want to have is a limit on how many batches we send in a given timeframe? possibly with a 'escape clause' that says tht if we are sending maxbatch size messages for the entire timeframe we do something (spawn a new sending thread, temporarily allow higher sending rates, or just let the backlog accumulate are all valid choices under different conditions)

thoughts?
