The cron.php file runs your Scheduled Tasks, and some things will stop working if you remove it. For instance: promotions, expiring infractions and bans, stats updates, etc. In short, no, you don't want to remove it completely, but you might try to figure out which scheduled task is taking so much time, maybe it's something you can change.
