    I see that the timing of the CRON job can be changed. Is there a way to change the frequency of the CRON jobs? Will that help reduce the load on the server?

    Hmm i suppose one could offer that. Simply a matter of a dropdown and then unscheduling and rescheduling. HOWEVER:

    • It wouldn’t be very permanent. WP or The plugin that creates the job may well reschedule it every now and then, say on every update or activation, if not more often (wp does).
    • Might be a risk if someone chose say a custom schedule that another plugin had added and then that plugin gets deactivated, the job may well not run?
    • Most jobs don’t create too much of a load (with the exception of one of mine ;), soon to be revised ) and if they do, hopefully the creating plugin should offer options as to frequency (as mine does)

    Bearing the above in mind, I don’t think I should add the functionality – it would create a false sense of control.

    I think of this more as a development tool – helps force jobs to run while one is testing, see whether one’s function is there etc.
