Are you certain about the fact they run every minute? In my system they appear 
to run every 15 minutes
-*/15 * * * *   root  test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && 
/usr/lib/cron/run-crons >/dev/null 2>&1

Which makes perfect sense, as the 'smallest' interval the scripts have is 
cron.hourly (so every 4 checks).
