I did a quick strace scan on a crond install and didn't see 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...
that's what inotify is for.
