 * Is there a limit on the number of comments you can insert with the WP APIs?
 * I have created a utility that migrates posts and comments from a different bogging
   platform to WordPress and everything seems to work fine until I hit 210 comment
   count. If I just migrate posts then it’s about 260 posts.
 * To import the 200 comments it takes about 5 mins to run and for just posts it’s
   about the same. The importer just dies after that but no fatal errors.
 * I did some digging but couldn’t find anything in the API documentation.

 * hi all,
 * in case anyone else runs into this I got to the bottom of it. the problem was
   php’s 300 second time limit on scripts. I added this to the top of the scheduled
   event function and all is right in the world. hopefully this will help some other
   poor soul.
 * `set_time_limit(0);`
