Special:ManageMessageGroups times out when dealing with >10000 changed messages. Definition files now can be updated by running processMessageChanges.php, however it does not make any difference for ManageMessageGroups workflow (sync-group.php is useless for unprocessed messages). In older versions of translate extension it was possible to split huge .pot files into small chunks and process them one-by-one (Special:ManageMessageGroups&group=out-name-1, Special:ManageMessageGroups&group=out-name-2 and so on). With recent versions Special:ManageMessageGroups tries to show all changed messages on a single page and times out. This can be solved by providing pagination feature (just a simple "continue" button) or ajax-based loader.
