The set_time_limit() function can be used to stop your script from timing out, without having to change your php.ini file and give all scripts a huge time limit.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php As for performance of other users... Probably depends on what is making the script take so long. Without knowing what it does, or seeing the code, it's kinda hard to say what you can do to optimize it...

I have an application that needs to perform some large processes, moving data as well as generating some rather large output files. This process might take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete and "MUST" be completed. It is only run by 1 administrator every and not a general user. 1)Is there anything I should do to adjust this script to optimize/ensure it doesn't time out before finished? 2)Will a long process like this keep the general users from using the system?
