I shouldn't ask but: Why do you have a webpage sleep for 30 seconds?

It could be that your browser is the hold up, not the server. While
your script is sleeping for the 30 seconds it still has an HTTP
connection open and the browser is still waiting for a response. It's
entirely possible (even likely) that the browser will not issue
another request for the same resource until the first request
completes.
