I'd just like to point out that webhosting providers often somehow check for processes that are running for too long (suspecting that they are daemons, which are usually not allowed), and kill them.
this might be a problem if your pseudo-cron sleeps() for hours at a time in the background, i guess, and severly limit the 'ease of installation' factor...
just my two centimos, YMMV
