WordPress 3.3 hit release just a few days ago, so I dived into the code of the new Admin system to figure out what had changed.

Taming The WordPress Time Machine: WP-Cron

While dealing with server slowdowns, I'm getting into a relatively little known function in WordPress: wp-cron and what it is doing behind the scenes. A cron is a subroutine that performs future tasks according to a schedule, so it's necessary to make sure it is running and running well.
