The passage around this formula
Minimizing over T gives an optimal interval = : the checkpoint interval should shrink as the inverse square root of the fleet failure rate, not linearly with it, so frequency rises roughly as purely from the failure-rate side as accelerator count N grows. Comparing that to…
