I don't believe max_execution_time is meant to be used as a security measure. It's only a
simple defense against scripts running for an unexpectedly long time (like because of infinite
loops) and it's notorious for being measured differently between Windows and 'nix.
If you need a security measure to prevent PHP from running for too long then that should probably be
enforced by the operating system.
