Instead of breaking the output into infinite multiple tables, you could pull the first 50 records into one table, <cfflush>, then pull all other records into the next, regardless of size. The first table could use relative sizing on the columns, but use JavaScript to resize the second table to match the column widths of the first table absolutely. This should solve both of your problems by rendering enough content quickly while matching the bottom records up format-wise with the top.

One way around this, assuming you need to have your data in a table, is to come up with a way to start and stop your table. If you can use a counter in your loop that generates the table, for each <tr>, add one to the counter, then, have an if statement in the loop that does a <cfif counter mod 50 eq 0></table><table></cfif>. This will make multiple tables on your page, but I believe the first one will render while the rest are loading into the browser. Also, if you are using CFMX (and CF5?), you can use the cfflow or similar tag to dump your server process to the client. You may be able to do this if the server side generation takes a long time too.
