Cron jobs high cpu usage

Question

This jobs run all time and consuming 25% cpu power each

Answer 1

In your crontab entry, you can specify how often the cron is running. Maybe try running it less frequently.

crontab -e

# you see a file

# run cron only every 15 minutes
*/15 * * * * sh /path/to/magento/cron.sh

Additionally, look in the MySQL cron_schedule table. There you can see every job that is scheduled, and how long it takes to execute. Perhaps a particular job is taking longer than you would expect.
