I find this really strange. crontab (or crond) shouldn't take hardly
any resources -- it just sits in the background and executes once
per minute to see if there is anything that needs to be run.
You might want to take a look and see what things are being run
by cron, and do things like run stuff at odd times (one thing that
I learned is to not set a job to run at say 1 am, but at 1:03 am, since
many other people might want to run something at 1 am, which would
cause the load to go high).
