Is this functionality something that people would like to see in core? Search module has a 'queue' of unindexed content, would it benefit from having an abstracted queue?
aggregator (and other, contrib-based aggregation) would benefit from this as well, I believe.
Those happen regularly, so cron is best.
Errr....except for mass numbers of aggregation where one cron run can't crank through everything. Queue might not be the right solution, but I wanted to point out that current cron architecture is not up to the task.
Adding individual items to the queue on cron might be a good pattern. That is what I'll be doing to import the pile o' XML that changes every day, which I've got to deal with for a project. I coded this to run queue items on cron until more than half of the PHP allowed execution time has been used. -- Neil Drumm http://delocalizedham.com
