If we can do this cleanly then I think its a good idea - even if it kinda breaks the notopn of a simple HTTP proxy somewhat. I think most users are quick to get frustrated by long delays during which they receive no feedback. We could provide information such as the RTE estimate for the request along with other details - of course, this is basically eye candy to keep the user occupied long enough to retrieve the data :-) Hopefully when NGR is out there and working well this will be less necessary.
