I generalized my statement too much. I believe it's only commands sent to apps (possibly osax too?) that pay attention to the timeout. But then I'm not sure if AppleScript itself behaves that way as well. This simple test runs for 3 seconds, not 1, so that might tell us something:

with timeout of 1 second
	delay 3
end timeout
