 * Hi,
 * I’m a huge fan of this plugin but have just upgraded from 0.56 to 0.66 and now
   have a problem with some pages that used to work fine now timing out with the
   message:
 * Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds in /var/sites/s/sailingchoices.
   com/pulic_html/wp-content/plugins/list-category-posts/include/lcp-catlist.php
   on line 336
 * The pages affected are perhaps a little heavy – they pull in a number of posts
   in full, each if which is in turn pulling in a number of excerpts from other 
   posts (I was quite impressed this actually worked)! Here’s an example:
    [http://www.sailingchoices.com/flotilla-holidays/dodecanese/](http://www.sailingchoices.com/flotilla-holidays/dodecanese/)
 * With 0.56 displaying the page from the edit screen was often slow; typically 
   5-20 secs. However, once cached, load times were much quicker, around 2-5 secs.
 * With 0.66, trying to view the page from the edit screen after an update repeatedly
   gives me the above error. If I try to view the updated page without logging in,
   it’s very slow first time after editing but does at least load. Subsequent loads
   are back to 2-5 secs (presumably as the page is now cached).
 * I did more updates and checked on Pingdom Tools. The first attempt always failed
   to complete, the second was slow but completed, the third was back to normal 
   speeds.
 * The plugin still works fine on other pages, where I use it to list post titles
   and excerpts. My hoster says I’m pulling too many posts but that doesn’t explain
   why it worked before and doesn’t now.
 * Does anyone know what’s changed that I suddenly have this problem? More importantly,
   does anyone know how to fix it? I’ve currently gone back to 0.56 but if it helps
   anyone diagnose the problem I can upgrade to 0.66 again.
 * Many thanks
