Hi Dave,

Thanks for the answer.  Ouch.  This sounds suboptimal :( and makes me feel
like I have no control :(.  Now that you said this, I have a feeling Radu
asked about this exact same thing at one point and had a similar
reaction.....

.... aha, yes, found it:

suboptimal in overhead, but optimal in terms of latency.

It's also much simpler and safer (the number of bugs that happen in code that has to implement timeouts to batch things up is apalling, and troubleshooting such cases is really nasty). Delaying messages also extends the window when something going wrong can cause them to be lost.

It does mean that in the absense of contention, usage ramps up much faster than when messages are delayed, but as contention of any sort appears, it's adapted to.
