You must not forget that you are inside a request answer, so the 
webbrowser is locked waiting for the request end.

You must split your long process so that it can be run using several 
successive requests by using a WebTimer. Each step is processed during 
the WebTimer 'Timer' event handler, and the Timer delay is adapted to 
the duration of each step.

Another possible solution is running your job in an external process 
whose state is read regularly by the main program. It's a bit tedious as 
the main process is suspended between each request.
