I found cron with its runs every ten minutes more disturbing. (*)
Afaik KDE uses hal and dbus for the device-notifications. It doesn't
poll devices but gets notified.
(*) I added a check for a running jackd (pidof jackd || <run-crons>)
and got rid of problems while still having prelink and co run on a
regular basis.
Have a nice day,
