Comment (by jetxpert):

 @peterwilsoncc,

 Thanks for the quick, stellar reply. Concise and helpful.

 Please know that many hosting companies (e.g., SiteGround) are
 discouraging their clients (especially those on shared plans) from setting
 up Real Crons less than 30 minutes. Based on your input, therefore, it
 appears we're going to continue to have these "failed to run" cron
 messages on our dashboard and other "trigger" issues as well.

 With all due respect, I would like to ask the wonder-folks at WordPress
 consider adjusting the cron timing to 30 minutes -- or -- in a future WP
 revision, allow users to manually adjust the timing for cron tasks (e.g.,
 in 10 minute increments up to one hour).

 Quite frankly, 10 minutes seems too short and may cause undue server load
 -- with the implication of a temporary host shutdown -- until the cron is
 adjusted back to 30 minutes or greater.

 Last, can you explain again where the 10 minutes came from? Justification?
 Would like to understand better the rationale.

 Again, thank you and have an awesome day!
