All default values are configured to work with most cases, thus it is recommended to change these values only when it is necessary to. XXX Per Batch: Cart Migration splits each entity data into small batches (or chunks) and import them in turn. This option defines batch size to process in each turn. Depending on your Magento hosting resource you can change the values accordingly. The lower the value is, the less time and resource Magento spends to process a batch, also the longer overall time to import full data. Delay Time: the sleeping time between each batch.
