The information in set_time_limit() might help:
http://us3.php.net/set_time_limit
"Note: The set_time_limit() function and the configuration directive
max_execution_time only affect the execution time of the script itself. Any
time spent on activity that happens outside the execution of the script such
as system calls using system(), stream operations, database queries, etc. is
not included when determining the maximum time that the script has been
running."
