Why the job queue? Even if you have several dozen redirects, it
should surely still be fast enough to do immediately.
I'm sure we have a page with hundreds of redirects pointing to it
somewhere on enwiki. But I suppose the reasonable solution is to do the
fixing immediately if the number of redirects is reasonable (say, less
than 200) and otherwise either dump it into the job queue or just flat
out refuse to do it.
