I did a quick strace scan on a crond install and didn't see anything
shocking, it's actually rather clean - only does reads and stats once a
minute, which shouldn't dirty anything.
Would patching to use (http://lwn.net/Articles/296578/) range_timers
make it better?
we have an application level heartbeat service in our OS that is more
suitable for such use than
range timers... (the heartbeat service internally will use range timers
of course)
also, crond quickly scans /etc/crontab, so range timers would not detect
changes to this file...
