So the guy(s) who proposed to use the ActiveMonitor didn't understand what I wanted to say. I don't care about Resources, I want to have the top of the html page early in the browser even if the buffer is not filled up and some DB-querys need a long time to give their results. And this is important not only for serialization to html but for all other steps in the pipeline too.
