You might get a blank screen while the task completes, if you have your page
content enclosed in <table> tags. That usually happens because the closing table
tag won't load up until the rest of the page is ready.
The found the following link that describes that a little better, but also
offers a way to create a status bar for slow download pages using Javascript
