 * Hi,
    I have a large multisite and it seems that a hourly wp_cron is created for
   each site in the network. Every hour, when cron kicks off, all these events fire
   and the database gets hit hard with DELETE and OPTIMISE calls on the same CERBER_LOG_TABLE
   table. Is this necessary? Thanks, Conor

 * Hi, WACKA1!
 * That’s interesting issue! It’s not necessary at all. I’ll investigate it.
 * Quick workaround which should work but not tested yet: add the following line
   to the wp-config.php. Let me know how it goes.
 *     ```
       define('WP_CRON_LOCK_TIMEOUT', 300);
       ```
