Disable auto-timeout

We have a requirement for some performance-type testing which uses a large amount of data in a Desktop product.

Essentially, we have a DevExpress grid which can have, for example, a million records + of financial data. Changing views on this data can take some time, i.e. more than the 1000000ms [16m40s] maximum that can be set for auto-timeout

Is there a way that this can be disabled?
