Hi Viktor, The following is still somewhat kludgy, but may be an option...
Considering your first option of "use <cflocation> to present another page to the user while the first one continues to process the code below the <cflocation> call" I suspect this would fail as once it hit's the cflocation processing on that page halts. However, I wonder what would happen if you had <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1; URL=show_me_to_user.cfm"> <cfflush> <cflocation url="my_background_processing"> No guarantees, but may work.
