    I am writing the plugin(gui wrapper for rss reader) which gets freq/update fields from database,
    and then update approprietes cached content files.

    the problem I encounter is having no idea how to check if the time is out

    lets say

    task1 check/update every 12 hours
    task2 update every 60min
    task3 update weekly

    If I will compare file modification time and time passed I am afraed it is very slow due to very time consuming file operation

    Is there any schemas or ready solutions to have a fake cron(in windows apache machines)
    or a way of keeping one superglobal between all instantces
    or any resources regarding
    periodical task initiating
