That's a long time. The out of the box default is 30 seconds.
Sure, but most of the companies I've worked at have used a big number. I haven't yet worked anywhere that left the time limit at the default 30 seconds.
I need to get around that. I'm writing a script that pings
the Google Ajax API. The script is called as a cron job. It needs to
make over 100,000 queries against Google.
Consider set_time_limit.
I don't think there is a value that I could set that could ensure this operation run safely. PHP postpones most memory clean up operations till the script is done running. I'd rather find a way to trigger multiple PHP scripts than try to get one PHP script to do everything that I want.
However don't you think that 100,000 hits against google at once might just be a tad over their TOS limits?
My sense is that most Google mashups make a lot more calls than that. Some of the bigger mashups make several million calls a day. Consider any of these:

All the same, I've asked about this issue over on the Google Search API forum.
