Or, thinking a bit, why not alloc 1440 bits, and once a day process all the files, setting a bit for which minute to wake up, and when I wake up, walk forward for the next set bit, and sleep that many minutes?
Do it all again if the files change...
So you have to monitor file-changes which is quite expensive.
And you have to monitor changes to /etc/cron.d* which is even more expensive.
When will that 'dayly process' which does the calculations run? What happens if the computer is down at that time?
So like you said: Much work, little (or negative) gain! You will probably need more resoures than without 'optimization' :)
