I know very little about PHP, but in other languages, what u describe
happens because the webserver doesn't send the output until the excution is
done...
But you can make it write your output as its generated... check out the
function "flush"
also after 20seconds of looking, I found "ob_implicit_flush" that may help
as well..
Hope I could help
