+bulk
+~~~~
+Sets the number of messages each cluster tries to get from the broker per call. Setting this on supported brokers can improve performance.
+Especially HTTP based or very high latency servers can benefit from bulk dequeue.
+Keep in mind however that settings this too high can degrade performance with multiple clusters or very large task packages.
+
+Not supported by the default Redis broker.
+Defaults to 1.
