Yes I am running them early in the morning. In fact, one of the full site backups I run disables access to the site. Every now and then I have a kid complain that they were working on something at 3AM when that happens and I get to give the poor high school student who asked a long explanation about proper sleep habits.
This is a VM and I'm sure there are lots of other sites on the box, but the box isn't mine so I can't tell you. I'm allocated a specific amount of hardware.
I'm going to see if I can track down some cron logging (or create it) after my epiphany a couple replies below.
