[development] hook_cron timeout

[Cameron Eagans]

No. If the amount of work being done in hook_cron is enough to cause  
PHP to time out, you should probably break it up into smaller chunks  
and look at the Job Queue module (essentially create a list of things  
to do and have cron run a few items from that list on each cron run)

Hope that helps!
