Each digest_rebuild_period as set by the peer.

These are safeguards to make sure digest fetching doesn't suck up too
much bandwidth, in case the peer(s) is badly configured.

It's how much of the cache Squid should digest at a time when rebuilding
the cache digest. No requests is processed while this is done, only very
briefly between chunks.

Hmm.. not even sure why this directive exists. I think it should scan
one bucket at a time.. digest rebuilding is not a very high priority
item and blocking request forwarding for this is not good...

Alex: do you remember why this directive was added?
