if you just echo() the results/messages as you come across them, the page should "incrementally" load.
in my experience (IE5?) if there is data being "added" to the page, then the browser will display what it can, and keep adding to it until the stream breaks or it finishes. one thing to note is that you wouldn't be able to do any tables because they don't display until the code all the way to the end of the table is available.
