Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 The frequency of the task can be modified via the `schedule_event` filter
 using code similar to that below (untested but you'll get the idea if it
 needs fixing).

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_filter( 'schedule_event', function( $event ) {
         if ( 'wp_scheduled_delete' !== $event->hook ) {
                 return $event;
         }

         $event->schedule = 'twicedaily'; /* or hourly/custom schedule name
 */


         return $event;
 } );
 }}}

 Allowing plugin authors to modify the batch size seems like it could be
 helpful but rather than using a constant (WordPress aims to avoid them
 when possible) I think a filter in `wp_scheduled_delete` would be a better
 approach.
