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.
HTH,
Gabriele.
