Keep in mind deleting them from one process (your cron job) may not 
actually free the related disk space if the file is still open for access 
from another process (say apache). Indeed, the log files could continue 
to grow, unbounded. After you've deleted the log files, ensure new ones 
actually are getting created.

Depending on your app, turning on application scheduling can have a 
significant positive increase in availability, even lowering response 
latencies. I'd say most complex session-based WO apps benefit from 
scheduling. I do have two specific high-volume apps deployed which don't 
use scheduling, however those don't use sessions.
