It's possible, but javascript isn't run on the webserver, it's still run on
the clients machine, so no matter how you write the php code, the page will
take the same time to execute and show on the client, some tricke may make it
seem to render faster but from the first code received to that the whole page
is displayed, will be around the same (excluding differences for bandwidth,
CPU load and other things you aren't able to control).
