What DJ writes is correct, except one thing: The value, which you define for $wgJobRunRate does not tell the exact number of page hits, after which a job would be executed. In fact it only is a probability, in your case of 1%, that a job is executed after a page hit. That means that on average one job will be run during 100 page requests, but the different page requests are independant from each other. It is also possible that no job is executed or that two or even more get executed. Bottomline is: It's like throwing a dice; you know the probability, but in advance, you just cannot tell, when exactly a given result will occur.
