Is it worth making the batch size a DCDO setting?

I thought about this too, but I do not think we need it yet. If we start seeing significant spikes and need to adjust the batch size frequently, it would make sense to move it to DCDO. Since the backfill has been relatively smooth so far, I would prefer to keep these changes tracked through the code history and PRs

Increases the geo backfill batch size from 100,000 to 150,000 records and changes the schedule from every 15 minutes to every 10 minutes.
Based on the first day's logs, jobs processing 100,000 records are consistently completing in about 5–6 minutes, which gives us enough headroom to increase both the batch size and frequency.
With the 10-hour daily backfill window, this increases throughput from about 4 million to 9 million records per day, reducing the estimated time to backfill all 90 million records from roughly 23 days to about 10 days.
