It's hard to understand why this is divided by 100 now?

Before we were adjusting with cursorsMembers.length * this.options.outboundBatchInterval, which made the client-side latency climb linearly with the presence set. Since we have server-side batching now we don't need to make it so steep client-side. Therefore, the ticket suggestion was that it could climb with groups of 100s, which makes client-side batching latency grow much slower.

Example assuming outboundBatchInterval=25ms:

  • if #presenceMembers <= 100: batchTime=25ms
  • if #presenceMembers <= 200: batchTime=50ms
  • if #presenceMembers <= 300: batchTime=75ms

Ok thanks, makes sense, perhaps put that as a comment in the code?
