The easiest thing I can think of would be to prepend the command in
the crontab with /usr/bin/time (or '/usr/bin/time -v' to get the
output to be more verbose).

You'll get something like this (example using 'dd'):


$ /usr/bin/time -v dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null count=500 bs=1M
500+0 records in
500+0 records out
