I may be mistaken, but I believe that something as simple as calling a
javascript window.open function effectively starts a parallel process, i.e.
it is a non-blocking operation in a browser
heres the sample code i used to test it.
1. A frameset with 2 frames, A and B. frame A has src=test1.php
2. test1.php
<script language='JavaScript'>
window.open('test2.php','B');
</script>
<?php
for ($i=0;$i<100000;$i++) { print $i . "<br>"; }
?>
2. test2.php
<?php
for ($i=0;$i<100000;$i++) { print $i . "<br>"; }
?>

The programs definitely run concurrently, and a quick view of my apache
processes shows that 2 processes are being used by the program.
