Fork off a php process and let it run separately. I think Synder,
Hans Z and Hendry were doing this for a app a couple of years ago with
some success. When the forked process is done it calls the original
script and reports. But you have to be conscious of garbage processes.

I should add to my comment that you will need to call a CLI php script
using exec to control your forked processes as you shouldn't fork from a
web server script. So I guess I jumped the gun. Maybe just exec'ing
another script will be enough.
