Just me being contentious again, but why not just impose an arbitrary
time limit on *any* total execution event (not overideable by anyone
except the top administrator), and/or put a hard limit on the total
length of a string?

Why have 'refresh()' (which appears to renew the execution time limit)?
If the core system needs it, make it only usable inside code that has
core system authority.
