For me emitting a signal from remote.php would be the best solution. I have 
only one cron job with a limited execution time at my provider, and I very 
rarely open my production instance in the browser, but I have 3 devices 
checking cal/carddav regularly.

To limit the load the cron app could just write a timestamp to oc_preferences 
or in an OC_FilesystemView, and only run the jobs if N minutes has passed 
since the last request.
