+        # Some background on the rate-limiting going on here.
+        #
+        # It turns out that if we attempt to send out RRs as soon as we get them from
+        # a client, then we end up trying to do several hundred Hz of federation
+        # transactions. (The number of transactions scales as O(N^2) on the size of a
+        # room, since in a large room we have both more RRs coming in, and more servers
+        # to send them to.)
+        #
+        # This leads to a lot of CPU load, and we end up getting behind. The solution
+        # currently adopted is as follows:
+        #
+        # The first receipt in a given room is sent out immediately, at time T0. Any
+        # further receipts are, in theory, batched up for N seconds, where N is calculated
+        # based on the number of servers in the room to achieve a transaction frequency
+        # of around 50Hz. So, for example, if there were 100 servers in the room, then
+        # N would be 100 / 50Hz = 2 seconds.
+        #
+        # Then, after T+N, we flush out any receipts that have accumulated, and restart
+        # the timer to flush out more receipts at T+2N, etc. If no receipts accumulate,
+        # we stop the cycle and go back to the start.
+        #
+        # However, in practice, it is often possible to flush out receipts earlier: in
+        # particular, if we are sending a transaction to a given server anyway (for
+        # example, because we have a PDU or a RR in another room to send), then we may
+        # as well send out all of the pending RRs for that server. So it may be that
+        # by the time we get to T+N, we don't actually have any RRs left to send out.
+        # Nevertheless we continue to buffer up RRs for the room in question until we
+        # reach the point that no RRs arrive between timer ticks.
+        #
+        # For even more background, see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4730.
