The job queue was at 97K.
Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Rua
AFAICT the point of the job queue is that it keeps changes from causing slowdowns, so I don't think there's a problem with it being large for a day. Its length also doesn't seem completely predictable; I've changed widely used templates once or twice and only noted a queue of about a thousand afterward, which quickly dissipated. Weiter so.
