[Developers] query timeouts

[augusto callejas]

hi-

i'm getting a consistent query timeout.
my query is for the /type/link history for /people/person nodes
that have been added since a certain time (and whose target
type's are from a certain set).

is there anything i can do to avoid the query timeout?
perhaps change the limit size when i cursor? will that
reduce the amount of time spent on the query?
or is query time based on other factors that are
query independent, but data size dependent?

thanks,
augusto.
