Has anyone here done anything similar? It's not very popular, and I don't know how well it is supported across browsers, but you could use "server push". Basically you return your page as a special multipart MIME type (I think it was something like multipart/replace, I don't remember); you return the first part immediately with the "please wait" message; then you return the second part, and the browser uses it to replace the first one. You should be able to find more info on the net, maybe on the w3c site or in some RFC.
