Question: dealing with timeouts during the scan

I run Scancode within ORT on a big repository (+ 3.5 GB) containing .json test data (a lot a big files).

Scan crashes with a timeout:
```

```
Is this occurring because of the `--timeout 300` parameter I specified ?
I know the clean solution would be to use `--ignore` parameter but is there another way to alleviate this error ?

Also the memory usage goes through the roof so I tried to see if ` --max-in-memory -1` helps to prevent scancode putting the big files in memory by no luck here.

Any help is welcome.
