Replacement for backgroundrb?

[PeteSalty]

We currently run backgroundrb to do a few things that need to happen
every minute or so, i.e. check for email from a Google email account,
re-index Xapian, that kind of thing.
BackgroundRB has served us well but it's kind of a memory hog and we'd
really like to investigate the possibility for swapping it out for
something else a little less memory intensive but can still do cron
like processing. We've looked at Workling, DelayedJob, and a few
others but they don't have the cron like behaviour.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

You could still use Workling combined with any background processor it supports and call it from cron.

Peter,

This looks like a good idea, thanks for the link.
