I have a class that compares invoice totals for a month and calculates the dollars saved. The downside is it takes about 1 second per invoice per month to calculate so it's taking a considerable amount of time to display a complete report especially if you run it for a two year period (48 seconds). What I was hoping to do is to make an AJAX request for the report and respond with each row (or month in this case) of the comparison table as they finish calculating. I had a feeling this would be pretty problematic to do...
