If your data is in a single <table> element, you're generally out of
luck: Browsers tend to wait to render tables until the entire table is
available. 

For the record, the problem you're trying to solve is probably something
like 'force rendering of partially complete HTML' or something along
those lines. (The problem is not strongly related to HTTP or anything
else.)
