I run fetchmail manually. I often let mail accumulate for several days. When I 
do this I get a lot of mail all at once. I never noticed a delay or
batching. Maybe there was one, but I don't think so. I look more
carefully the next time I let it accumulate. If my non-observation
really is correct, I'll let the powers know.

In the meantime, I'm working on an outgoing mail problem that seems
to be at my ISP. While I'm doing that my queue won't be building.
