Comment:

 Maybe we can just go with set_time_limit(0) and allow the script to be run
 at the mercy of the server. The Livejournal import currently uses this.
 It's an import, it's not like people won't expect it will take a while.

 The real fix of course would be to have the importer do this in stages.
