 Well, since "which" refers to a single subprocess, it is unambiguous.

 (But you're in principle right, omitting the comma might be considered a
 bit sloppy, as the clause is non-restrictive from a ''grammatical'' point
 of view. I'd say it ''is'' restrictive, or constraining, from a logical
 point of view though, as the subprocess wouldn't have been killed in that
 situation otherwise, i.e. if it had not taken too long.)

 We could also change "''which'' took too long" to "''because'' it took too
 long"... :)
