+ Set the refill delay interval of Tor's token bucket to NUM milliseconds.
+ NUM must be between 1 and 1000, inclusive. When Tor is out of bandwidth,
+ on a connection or globally, it will wait up to this long before it tries

option only affects the frequency with which Tor checks to see whether
previously exhausted connections may read again.
