The difference is that a daemon is a long running process (ie
initialisation happens once), whereas a cronjob is something that is
launched repeatedly.
So yes, a cronjob spends more time loading rails/your app over and
over again, but a daemon will set on however much memory it needs all
the time, whereas a cronjob will return those resources when it has
finished. To an extent the trade off depends how often you want to
perform your task.
