there might be a better way to do this, but I found that starting a new stack (like rake tasks or script/runner) takes a long time.
what I did in an app that processes a lot of emails, was make a maintenance controller that triggered methods for cronlike jobs. then just call it with a wget in cron and drop the output. originally, I was calling script/runner for every incoming email which was ugly at 5-10 seconds per start. even with a cron job checking for new emails to process it was tying up too much processor time. it's a moderate server for an internal app that really have no way to scale hardware up. obviously, this approach only works for things that can't be abused (open security holes, DOS attacks, etc.). so no parameters, no info return.
