What is your total DB size / server RAM? Could you include a snapshot of the 
output of top from the DB server? I would guess that your problem is 
indexing/tuning or server capacity MySQL side rather than in SA, but without 
more data it is just a guess.

If the processing timeout above occurs inside an uncommitted transaction, you 
will get this.

Try an EXPLAIN SELECT max(runtime) from bayes_expire WHERE id = <some value>; 
as you know it to be slow it might give a clue where to look to improve 
performance. Or try turning the general query log on for a while and see what 
queries are taking up time. MonYog is quite a nice frontend to this, but you 
can do it by hand fairly simply.
