The docs say, no, it may not timeout at 1 second. Check out the livedocs... "Because the timeout attribute only affects the maximum time for each suboperation of a query, the cumulative time may exceed its value."
And, even then, the query stuff is considered to be 3rd party (or at least, so I remember reading a ways back) and does not fall under the same rules as CF templates when it comes to setting a timeout using CFsetting or by way of the administrator. The best way to kill those hung threads is going to be something like FusionReactor or SeeFusion.
