Handling journald spam from a crash

I have an intermittent, unrecoverable crash and it's killing my logs. I get

systemd-journald[8224]: Missed 18 kernel messages

Added to my log at a rate of about 8,000 lines a second and, yeah, that's just the "dropped messages" warning. So the crash is generating about 160k lines of errors a second. I'm thinking I should tweak RateLimit{Burst,Interval} but I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

I think I need to reduce RateLimitInterval to a much shorter Interval, maybe 1s? I still want to be able to catch less regular messages but I can't see that's possible with the available options.I just can't get my head around it.

Also, is "ms", "us" milli- and micro-seconds?
