 > One more question: is this something we want to think about potentially
 backporting?  If not, should it wait for 043 when we can treat it as a
 feature and add a new consensus parameter?

 Discussion with nickm on IRC. There is a good argument on preventing
 partitioning client/HS into two buckets of "performance".

 So because of this, we'll defer this to 043, add two consensus parameters
 (client and relay sched interval) and backport it back to 035. We'll have
 a good chunk of the 043 cycle to make sure it works properly.
