So am I correct in assuming this is a way to batch SYNCs to the slave for 
efficiency sake?  A higher number means more SYNCs batched and thus 
possibly longer delay before SYNCing with slave but less communication 
overhead?  And a lower number ensures more timely SYNCs at the expense of 
increased master-slave traffic?
