We used to support a timeout mechanism, but with WebKit2 we instead rely on the UI process shooting down the web process if it runs off out of control.

It would be nice to have an efficient (non-polling) mechanism to be able to asynchronously interrupt execution.  These bugs are related:
    https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12637
    https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41765

The timeout mechanism may still work in the old JIT & classic interpreter, but probably won't be around for long.  Mark Lam may be looking at an efficient mechanism to break out of JIT code based around DFG JIT speculation watchpoint, at some point in the near future.

cheers,
G.
