Most servers impose some sort of CPU limit on CGI processes (though 
typically this defaults to a value of 30 seconds or more). If you really 
are going past your server's default(?) limit you really need to either 
tweak the limit up on the server (at least for that script) or 
reconsider whether the application is suitable for CGI in the first place.

What kind of "slow" are we talking about here? A minute? Ten minutes?
