Performance of jobs run from cron
I have some long-running scheduled jobs run from cron. I find that if I run exactly the same job form the command line using nohup, I get soemthing like 20 - 25 % performance improvement. Why is the same job slower when runnign from cron, and how can I make cron as fast as nohup from the command line?

I am only running one job at a time, either from cron or the command line.

or prepend the job by nice command in your crontab, see
man nice
man nice
Do you have the job scheduled so that several jobs are running in parallel?
