Comment (by Otto42):

 Running this via cron is not a great idea, methinks. Lots of people still
 have issues with the cron system, I wouldn't put important things like
 update checks on it yet.

 There's no reason not to have it hit the update function every page hit,
 the fix simply needs to be where it's checking the plugin data to see if
 the installed plugin list has changed. That's the bottleneck.
