I don't thing that's technically the best option to wget the cron job (eg .
wget yourdomain.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=aaa&pass=yyy&key=zzz ) as you go through the overhead of the webserver, have to mess around with the timeout/memory limit that are legitimate for a normal page, but more a pain for a batch type of job... and also you can't have it running at a lower priority (nice -19 ) than the web server.

I'm going to code a cli version, and was wondering if the user/pass is still useful with the key or if I could bypass that. Beside the "authentication", is this used somewhere else in the cron code or can I safely bypass it ?

That would be great to develop a more efficient way to run the cron. I've run into problems with the UpdateMembershipRecord timing out: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=6064

Hadn't thought that maybe part of the issue was with how the script was being called via cron.
