Sure will.... the cron jobs are, after all, computational commands. That,
however, is not really germaine to what you want to know. Will your
particular crontab jobs slow down the PERCEIVED performance of the server...
as long as they take less than a second or so of REAL time when they are
being done from the command line, the answer would have to be an emphatic
no. You won't even notice, unless you have them go off during a peak load
time. Even longer jobs, if done during non-peak load, won't be noticed;
they would just be background noise.

Subject: Does crontab jobs slow the server down?
Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone new if running about 3 crontab jobs would
slow the server down any?
I have a 400Mhz Pent. II 128MB RAM.
They are run once a day.
Any help is appreciated.
Kevin
