I think that the machine was low in resources at some time, and if we got a better machine in the meanwhile nobody looked at improving the cron jobs (correct me if I am wrong).
There are the lessoften job that may be concurrent at some time if the webwml job is long (e.g. after a point release or changes in templates or in .po files) but I guess we can try to accommodate everything).
Please go ahead and let see how it goes? (Or we can ask DSA if they have any objection)
Kind regards
