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?

[Peter De Berdt]

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