We currently run backgroundrb to do a few things that need to happen every minute or so, i.e. check for email from a Google email account, re-index Xapian, that kind of thing. BackgroundRB has served us well but it''s kind of a memory hog and we''d really like to investigate the possibility for swapping it out for something else a little less memory intensive but can still do cron like processing. We''ve looked at Workling, DelayedJob, and a few others but they don''t have the cron like behaviour. Does anyone have any suggestions?
