After reading this I wasn't clear whether the 30 second per process limit was
imposed on CPU usage or elapsed time. I ran the following test that confirms it
is CPU usage.
The iRev file:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?rev
put "<p>I started at" && the date && the time && "</p>"
wait 120 seconds
put "<p>I finished at" && the date && the time && "</p>"
?>
</body>
</html>
The result:
I started at 8/13/10 6:30 PM
I finished at 8/13/10 6:32 PM
Personally, I think a 30 second cpu usage limit per process to avoid looping
process is very reasonable and should rarely be an issue when serving web
pages. It could possibly be restrictive for server based tasks though.
