Cron or Pseudo-cron?

[m1mi.dan0s]

Hi!

I run a few autoblogs and I was just wondering which of the two is more efficient: Cronjob or Pseudo-cron?

Which of the two gives the least load to the Server's CPU? And which of the two is the most accurate when it comes to launching the scripts on time?

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Cron for both of your questions. Psuedo cron mimics cron's behaviour for people who do not have access to cron jobs. Psuedo cron relies on what could be an inefficient method of timing if your web server is acting up, and cause a mess. Cron relies on internal timer.

If you have access to cron jobs, there is no reason to use psuedo cron.
