For that feature to be useful, you would need to be able to over-ride it
in an individual servlet or JSP. Many other server scripting languages like
ASP have a scripting timeout feature similar to this that would prevent
something like an endless loop from forever consuming server resources.
This sounds more like an enhancement to the Servlet spec. I'm sure it must
have been discussed over at Sun's JCP.
