As a follow-up, I set a rate limit on ports 80, 443, and 11371 to 6
requests per 30 second window. The high-speed queries ceased almost
immediately and are being blocked by the firewall (they still continue
making their rapid queries, but SKS doesn't see more than 12 a minute).

More ordinary queries are seemingly not affected: only between one and
three IP addresses are being rate limited.

However, this doesn't seem to resolve the problem: SKS still pegs the
CPU meter at 100% for a minute or so every minute or two, with all
queries hanging until it sorts out what's going on.
