My apologies for not using the correct terms or concepts. My basic goal is to provide functionality that would enable timeouts for runspaces in a runspacepool.

I tried to add a timeout to Tome T.'s Foreach-Parallel function but was unsuccessful - defining a 'start time' when a runspace is defined is inaccurate, as the actual runspace is queued up and may not start when this property is defined. Details here: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Foreach-Parallel-Parallel-a8f3d22b

Boe Prox suggested using nested runspaces. This allows for accurate timeouts unlike the above method, but severely impacts performance, the main motivation for using runspacepools in the first place.

Always Happens

Yes, this happens in all previous versions

Not an error. Trying to add a timeout to runspaces in a runspace pool. For example, in Tome T's Foreach-Parallel function:

I would expect that I could define a runspacepool timeout when creating the runspacepool:
[Runspacefactory]::CreateRunspacePool(...)

At the very least, I would expect a property for each Runspace that defines the time that runspace began executing, allowing for manual calculation of a timeout.
