Rsyslog really doesn't have a good way to rate limit it's output. The
dequeueslowdown is the only thing it has, and that just makes rsyslog stop
doing anything for that long after it sends a message.

The snippet of pstat output doesn't show enough to say that things aren't
being slowed down (you'd need to show more of the action lines and show
them over time)

Why are you trying to slow down the output so much?

The 'right' (but more complicated way) would be to throttle the output at
the system level, things like HTB configuration and similar.
