FYI, I'd be inclined to reduce both of those numbers, as it should
reduce the variability of behaviour.
Rather than cleaning 1K pages every 10s, I would rather clean 100
pages every 1s, as that will have much the same effect, but spread the
work more evenly. Or perhaps 10 pages every 100ms...
Cut the delay *too* low and this might make the background writer, in
effect, poll *too* often, and start chewing resources, but there's
doubtless some "sweet spot" in between...
