This is all basically correct; it's one of the reasons you don't want
to let individual buckets get too large.

That said, I'm a little confused about why you're running listomapkeys
that way. RGW throttles itself by getting only a certain number of
entries at a time (1000?) and any system you're also building should
do the same. That would reduce the frequency of any issues, and I
*think* that scrubbing has some mitigating factors to help (although
maybe not; it's been a while since I looked at any of that stuff).

Although I just realized that my vague memory of deep scrubbing
working better might be based on improvements that only got in for
firefly...not sure.
