Changing the Batch size value

Depends

As long as you're keeping up with the message flow...

Normal advice is 5 children per CPU core and start at 30 for the batch
and tune the batch size up down and see how things go.

Normally I get batches done in under 30 seconds...sometimes as low as 3
seconds...
