You could, for each image pass in the XML file, use the
set_time_limit() function to reset the maximum execution time. Either
that, or use it to set the maximum execution time to a higher number.
http://php.net/set-time-limit
I've used this before myself when I had to import a rather large user
base from a CSV file (saved from Excel) into a member management system
in PHP (and e-mail autogenerated user names and passwords to each of
the members in the import process).
