max_wait  (duration)  maximum wait time between operations, defaults to '15s'
cycle     (duration)  time duration between scanner cycles
```

Example: the following setting will decrease the scanner speed by a factor of 3, reducing the system resource use, but increasing the latency of updates being reflected.

```sh
~ mc admin config set alias/ scanner delay=30.0
```
