Revisit the GC initial bias to allow more frequent GC for smaller sets while still avoiding wakeups when a machine is mostly idle. We're moving from a large initial value to pretending we have 100 entries expiring at the upper bound. This way only a few entries having a small timeout won't impact much the rescheduling delay and non-idle machines will have enough entries to lower the delay when needed. This also improves readability as the initial bias is now linked to what is computed instead of being an arbitrary large value.
