Cron Jobs are slow

[Kovo]

HelloI have a cron job that runs at midnight every day. It executes one php script. If I run that script via a browser, it takes less than a second to execute.When the cron job runs, it takes at least 20 seconds.The script itself connects to a mysql database and runs several functions (about 20-30 queries, mostly updates) The database is located on the same server.Any ideas why theres such a huge performance gap?I used absolute paths for all includes (theres only 2)Thanks!

It might be going through a different database interface when the script gets run on a command line. I wouldn't expect the difference to be so much though.
