Thanks everyone for the responses... I will have to work with the admin of this particular system to check out the caching. In the meantime, I've followed the Zend optimization instructions to remove all the require_once lines. That seems to have given a dramatic boost in speed - enough to keep it form timing out, yet it's still too slow. Hopefully the caching will be the answer :)
