This issue has been resolved. I had forgotten to post the resolution...

Three settings needed to be modified. Workflow Throttle, Workflow Batch, and the Hidden Workflow Timer.

You can check the current throttle setting by running the following command:

stsadm -o getproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-throttle

Here is my new setting:

stsadm -o setproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-throttle -pv "45"

You can check the current batch size setting by running the following command:

stsadm -o getproperty -pn workitem-eventdelivery-batchsize

Here is my new setting.

stsadm -o setproperty -pn workitem-eventdelivery-batchsize -pv "250"

You can check the current interval setting by running the following command, in which you replace the URL with a valid path to a SharePoint application:

stsadm -o getproperty -pn job-workflow -url http://yoursiteurl

Here is my setting:

stsadm -o setproperty -pn job-workflow -pv "Every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://yoursiteurl
