I would look at using ajax.  On the first call, use the scheduler to start 
the long computation,  and the call also sets a cookie, and activates a 
"busy" display that uses a timer to make the second call.  The second call 
sees the cookie, checks for results, displays what it can, and if not done 
repeats the busy/timer activation.

I'm interested in using this technique myself, but haven't quite got the js 
down to do the equivalent of $(document)ready(), but I'm hoping someone can 
fill in that gap.
