According to the manual page I referenced earlier, the 
max_execution_time setting does not take into account time spent waiting 
for 'system calls using system(), stream operations, database queries, 
etc.'.  As far as I am aware the timeout will still be in effect for the 
script itself, regardless of whether it is run from the command line, 
cgi or apache module.
