I cannot find any reference to it now, but somebody suggested the
following solution to spread the load more evenly:
1. Move the cron job to cron.hourly.
2. Let the cron job keep track of when statistics were last reported.
3. If more than a week has elapsed since the last time statistics were
reported, report statistics and update the time stamp.

This would spread the load over every hour of the week.
