Comment (by vonkoga):

 I had the same problem, and figured out that due to server resource
 overload, hoster disabled cron automaticaly because it sensed a security
 issue. You should fix your webpage serving issue, and optimize it more
 efficiently, or transfer to more resourceful hosting package.

 > It's possible that I might have a related problem.  I recently moved web
 hosting providers, and am having a problem that the cron for the wp-
 lifestream plugin isn't working.  However, I have now installed the WPX
 Cron Manager Light plugin, and there are many other plugins that aren't
 working.  I have attached some screen captures from WPX Cron Manager.

 timer, but the actual cron has not created any updates.

 this doesn't not seem to help.
