Watchdog => execution limits & exception handling?

Hello,

I was doing some performance tests in the simulator, and I ran into a Watchdog exception because my code ran for too long. It makes no difference where I test this code (e.g. in the onStart or onShow methods for an application).
This got me wondering:
A) what the code execution timeout is for any given piece of code?
B) if there is more than 1 execution timeout, depending on where the code is being called? For instance, I could imagine the timeout in an onStart or onStop method being shorter than in an onHide method.

When I hit the timeout, it also seems that exception handling isn't working, and that the execution time (in milliseconds) doesn't get calculated.
In the output you can see that the exception doesn't get caught, and that the timers always show 0 milliseconds.
Can anyone confirm that they see the same behaviour, or is it my code/pc/setup?

This is the test code:
function onStart() {
var appStart, appStop, appDelta;

try {
appStart = Sys.getTimer();

// ObjectStore tests
//setupShop();

// Math performance tests
// Random numbers
var i = 100;
while(i<=10000) {
System.println("");
System.println("Trying to generate " + i + " random numbers.");

rndPerformance(i);
i += i < 1000 ? 100 : 1000;
}
}
catch( ex ) {
appStop = Sys.getTimer();
appDelta = appStop - appStart;
System.println("EXCEPTION occurred: " + ex);
System.println("onStart ran for " + appDelta + " milliseconds before hitting a timeout.");
}
}

function rndPerformance(iterations)
{
var timeStart, timeStop, timeDelta;
var countEven = 0;
var countOdd = 0;

timeStart = Sys.getTimer();
for(var i = 0; i < iterations; i ++)
{
var rn = Math.rand();
if(rn%2==0) {
countEven++;
} else {
countOdd++;
}
}
timeStop = Sys.getTimer();
timeDelta = timeStop - timeStart;

System.println("For " + iterations + " iterations of Math.random, we got " + countEven + " even numbers, and " + countOdd + " odd numbers.");
System.println("Calculation took " + timeDelta + " milliseconds.");
}


And this is the output:
