Wouldn't that cause a severe impact to battery life on battery driven devices? You want everything sleeping unless it's in active use, what you suggest would keep the CPU active even when the device isn't being used. Of course if we don't concern ourselves with battery driven devices it's not a concern.

You'd only need to run it once a month or something like that. And there are numerous other cron jobs that perform tasks on Linux.
It wouldn't be difficult to put a logic into the cron job to check to see if it's on battery and delay until it's on the charger or above 80% charge or something of that nature.
