One issue for me is the fact that I use my laptop's battery a LOT. The cron job for this isn't currently smart enough to realize that I'm on a battery and not run that job. Reducing to once a week would help my particular situation, as it takes about 15-20 minutes of continuous spinning to update the database. When compared to a normal 15-20 minutes when I'm able to run entirely from RAM without touching my drive, a solid 15-20 minutes of HDD spinning currently equates to an extra ~10% battery charge gone. That's a significant chunk of power and work time lost.
