Add an option to sleep between deleted batches when clearing jobs

README.md

@@ -298,7 +298,7 @@ There are several settings that control how Solid Queue works that you can set a
 - `silence_polling`: whether to silence Active Record logs emitted when polling for both workers and dispatchers—defaults to `true`.
 - `supervisor_pidfile`: path to a pidfile that the supervisor will create when booting to prevent running more than one supervisor in the same host, or in case you want to use it for a health check. It's `nil` by default.
 - `preserve_finished_jobs`: whether to keep finished jobs in the `solid_queue_jobs` table—defaults to `true`.
-- `clear_finished_jobs_after`: period to keep finished jobs around, in case `preserve_finished_jobs` is true—defaults to 1 day. **Note:** Right now, there's no automatic cleanup of finished jobs. You'd need to do this by periodically invoking `SolidQueue::Job.clear_finished_in_batches`, but this will happen automatically in the near future.
+- `clear_finished_jobs_after`: period to keep finished jobs around, in case `preserve_finished_jobs` is true—defaults to 1 day. **Note:** Right now, there's no automatic cleanup of finished jobs. You'd need to do this by periodically invoking `SolidQueue::Job.clear_finished_in_batches`, which can be configured as [a recurring task](#recurring-tasks).
 - `default_concurrency_control_period`: the value to be used as the default for the `duration` parameter in [concurrency controls](#concurrency-controls). It defaults to 3 minutes.
