One reason I was given for the daemon method was the long time that z39.50 searches can take. If we impose a 2 minute limit, there seems little reason not to use traditional CGI scripts. Maybe you meant some longer limit, like 20 minutes.
How long will librarians actually wait for search results?
20 minutes seems like an awful long time to me (but then again I am not a cataloger). Maybe instead of hard coding it in, the length of time could be a variable that each easily site could customize if they wish. I'd probably like to test (or hear from people who actually catalog a lot of records) to see how long it should go on for, but somewhere between two and five minutes seems like a reasonable default to me.
