adding CFC timeout?
No, I wouldn't. When my employer sends me to get a job done, he is the one with the stop-watch in his hand, not me.
In my opinion, the calling page should be the one to decide that a function is taking too long, not the component. I would design it like this:
callingPage.cfm
=============
<cfsetting requesttimeout="30" />
<!--- instantiate component or web service and call test() --->
