That's a neat idea - I didn't know that the

something that we should be talking to ops about to validate?
12 per minute is the default setting for the standard bot framework

doing processing with that speed and the max allowed item limit. I don't
think you need to ask anyone before doing that. If you want to be extra
nice, you can use the maxlag parameter
