9016	Possibility to disable wp-cron	erunafailaro	anonymous	"Sometime when I edit an older page or article and save the changes, spawn_cron() from /wp-includes/cron.php is invoked more than 200 times a second for a few minutes and consequently also calls /wp-cron.php > 200 times.

Everytime when this happens, my server goes down to its knees and my provider will take my host offline.

As my provider offers operating-system-cron-jobs, I would like to replace wp-cron with an OS-cron-job that will invoke /wp-cron.php once a minute.

Could you please add an option to the wp-settings that will disable wp-cron so that the file /wp-cron.php could be invoked by e.g. an OS-cronjob?"	feature request	closed	normal	2.7.1	General		normal	duplicate	wp-cron
