Yes, regular page views caused the load, after the cache was invalidated.

After the jobs were run. The edits were made over a week ago.

It affected the whole cluster. I thought I already said that. Secure
is just a single server which acts as a proxy. It decrypts the
requests and forwards them back to the main apache cluster. There was
no problem with secure, it was reporting errors appropriately.

For now I have added a sleep() to the code to limit invalidations to
100 pages per second per job runner process.
