If you do this for all events listed currently in all crontabs, you
need event engine. Currently request to recheck crontabs each minute
masks the need to build event list.

Switching this to 1-second step breaks former success. But we still
can do something like

	if (per_second_requests_count > 0)
		sleep(1);
	else
		sleep_until_next_minute_margin();

as soon as there will be really few systems where @every_second is
used.
