Comment(by dd32):

 To quote [http://au2.php.net/set_time_limit PHP.net's set_time_limit()
 page]:

 > When called, set_time_limit() restarts the timeout counter from zero. In
 other words, if the timeout is the default 30 seconds, and 25 seconds into
 script execution a call such as set_time_limit(20) is made, the script
 will run for a total of 45 seconds before timing out.

 PHP may be configured to have a hard cutoff limit applied as well i
 believe, that cannot be extended via set_time_limit();
