This is a performance optimisation only. If a scraper sends out multiple events in a short period of time it will generate many http requests to the clay server which in turn will generate many requests to the external callback url. It would be sensible to only send out the http requests at most at a certain interval. Say, for arguments sake, that interval is 0.1s. Then, any events that happen in a 0.1s interval we bundle together and send in a single http request.
