Job scheduler really works well and is designed to be used with drupal queue http://drupal.org/project/drupal_queue

INSTALLATION
------------

- Install module
- Schedule workers: To provide full functionality without requiring additional
cron configuration, jobs added to the queue are being worked off in subsequent
cron runs. If this is not sufficient, it is recommended to add a separate
process for workers: If using drush, add "drush queue-cron" to your
crontab. Otherwise copy drupal_queue_cron.php to your site's root directory
and add it to your crontab just like cron.php
- You can schedule as many workers concurrently as your server resources allow
for.
- Note: modules that use Drupal Queue may still require cron to be configured
http://drupal.org/cron

This allows feeds to be imported efficiently, and keeps them from btiming out on multiple imports and stuff. This would be so useful if you could integrate and make a contrib module for drupal 6 pressflow platform

Title: Feeds, a very useful module with 8,777 developers using, requires Job Scheduler, requires Drupal Queu. Can you please implement? » Drupal Queue
Priority: Major » Normal
Status: Active » Closed (won't fix)

1. Job Scheduler doesn't require Drupal Queue.
2. Aegir is not compatible with Drupal Queue.
3. You were asked already 3 times to NOT post long questions in the issue title.

If you will ignore what we request, we will ignore you.

This is unrelated to Octopus/Barracuda.
