Control your WordPress cron “wp-cron.php” with WP-Crontrol WordPress Plugin
Cron schedules are used by WordPress and WordPress plugins to allow you to schedule commands to be executed at regular intervals. Intervals must be provided by the WordPress core or a plugin in order to be used. WP-Crontrol lets you take control over what's happening in the WP-Cron system.

Same here, was using the wassup plugin and the wp-cron.php file went crazy. I'm trying to work with this plugin and get everything automated again.
This has to be one of the least understood aspects of Wordpress blogging. I know I never paid any attention to it until I started using the Wassup plugin for stats and began seeing all those wp-cron.php entries, some of which were 40 or 50 lines long.
Good to read up on this a little, as I can see how it could consume a lot of resources in a hurry if not kept in check.
