You are just replacing the run‐crons script which is used in distribu‐ tions to handle the /etc/cron.[hourly|weekly|monthly] scripts? Running the script all the time is a bit of time‐wasting. The scheduler should know, to save CPU cycles, when the next task is arriving. I am using fcron[0] with just 11k. It has a nice shell fcrondyn with dy‐ namic task scheduling and it won’t shoot into your back like vixie cron does on an unstable time source.
