How temporary is "temporary", then?

<cite source=info-gnus-scoring>
   There are two sorts of scoring entries: Permanent and temporary.
Temporary score entries are self-expiring entries.  Any entries that are
temporary and have not been used for, say, a week, will be removed
silently to help keep the sizes of the score files down.

Which variable, then, determines how long entries will be kept in the
score file if they are "temporary"?
Do the temp entries go away only after they have been unused for, say,
a week?
