http://php.net/sleep

Note that "sleep" time doesn't count, but that if your program uses up *TOO*
much time, it will be killed by PHP.

The default setting is 30 seconds.

You can alter it in php.ini or using http://php.net/set_time_limit

If you want to sleep 10 seconds every 50 items it would be like this:

$count = 0;
while (...){
  $count++;
  if (($count % 50) == 0){
    sleep(10);
  }
}
