For the affiliate systems like the one from budgetvm, all the sales have to be valid at least for 3 months (no charge back after 3months for PP) before it turns to available earning.

The script just reads the cpu load in /proc/loadavg and does one API call, if it's high. It's running on my own servers aswell and it causes no load at all. Here's cpu usage of a similar sized site with the same configuration (and also the 1 minute script) on a iwstack 4core server:
