It's obvious (?) your script is slow because the XML interface in FM  
is not really geared  for the kind of use your are attempting.
Instead of coercing the server to tolerate long-running scripts, you  
may consider alternative approaches.

How about having FM do the work by itself?
Ideas off the top of my head:
-put the file where FM can get to it, and import using a script in FM  
(may only work with FMU?)
-put the contents of the file in a single FM field, and run an FM  
Script to create the records from the contents of this field
-POST the whole file to a layout with a portal, creating all records  
through the portal (is this even possible?)

OK, these are *not* tried and true solutions, just my imagination  
running wild.

Anyone care to elaborate?
