After upgrading, I keep getting the following error:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 180 seconds exceeded in /home/<snip>/plugins/exif_view/main.inc.php on line 108

I have upped the execution time from the default to higher and then back to 180 again. Did not make any difference.

A few relevant points:
1. Before the upgrade, never any problems with 60 seconds execution time.
2. This happens irrespective of the type of upload. Previously I uploaded zip files, single files or multiple image files. Now I get the time-out on all attempted uploads, irrespective of size.
3. This happens irrespective of file size.

I do suspect however, that it might be the adsl line quality - I am at a different location than normal.

So the question is:
What is the maximum execution time that could be used safely without killing the server?

Newest version of piwigo, all plugins up to date and incompatible plugins deactivated.
