Yes, if you run ViewVC as a CGI script, then it is susceptible to Apache's
timeout on CGI scripts providing a response.  ViewVC is unfortunately both
notoriously slow at reading massive directory listings, and non-streamy in
its response, so yes, large directory listings can timeout.  You should find
that by setting use_pagesize in viewvc.conf (to paginate those views) that
things get better.  And you might find that hosting under mod_python helps,
too.  (I haven't tried to confirm that myself.)
