I have a site with upwards of 15,000 nodes, split into various folders, mainly alphabetised. The content for the nodes has been imported using the CMSImport package. The import process wouldn't run if set to auto-publish nodes, so all of the imported nodes are now in Umbraco, unpublished. If I try to publish the 'a' folder, for example, which contains say 1000 nodes, it eventually gives a YSOD and only actually publishes the first few tens of nodes.
I've tried using the content maintenance dashboard package which is nice, but suffers the same problem - if I check hundreds of nodes to be published it times out. I could publish 20 at a time, but on this scale that's not really a suitable solution.
So, question is, what's the best way to publish these nodes in bulk? Is there a config setting somewhere I can change to disable certain non-critical tasks during publish?
The executiuonTimeout is a value in seconds. According to the documentation 110 seconds is the default. You might want to set it to more than 3 minutes (180 seconds) for your case. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e1f13641.aspx for more details.
The script timeout can also be set in code by doing the following:
Thanks Douglas. This is indeed an option. I should have said that I'd prefer to find a way of temporarily disabling non-critical publish tasks though rather than extending time-outs, as I'd prefer to keep it lean if possible. I seem to recall talk of disabling the Examine indexing or something at some point, which is more the direction I'm looking to take.
As far as I know, there isn't any way to speed up the publishing process, aside from removing any packages or dll''s that may subscribe any of the Document BeforePulish or AfterPublish events or any other events involved in the publishing process. I don't know of any magic flag in the configuaration that will turn these off.
Bulk publish thousands of nodes

Thanks folks!
The YSOD is probably occurring because the request is timing out. To remedy this you could temporarily try increasing the script timeout.
If you have access to the Web.config, you could add the httpRuntime entry to system.web:
<system.web><httpRuntime executionTimeout="180"/>
<system.web>
