You can throttle the rate at which schedd's spawn condor_shadow
processes. See the manual and read up on JOB_START_DELAY and
JOB_START_COUNT schedd configuration settings here:

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.7/3_3Configuration.html#12278

They work together to control the spawn rate for *new* jobs. For an
equivalent spawn rate of 10 jobs in 5 minutes you'd want:

	JOB_START_COUNT = 1
	JOB_START_DELAY = 30
