It does. But it still depends on how many feeds does each config file has
and how much time the final splice takes. 60 seconds is quite restrictive.

Maybe you can just run the planet on your local machine and just scp/FTP the
generated files to the web server ?

Take a look at the architecture diagram:

<http://intertwingly.net/code/venus/docs/venus.svg>It looks like the
splice.py would need the avatar stuff etc. BTW you can leave all the stuff
in the config file, parsing config file takes minuscule amount of time
compared with rest of the things the scripts have to do...
