Ok, what I really was trying to test was browser behavior with a very large document that was a) formatted as one big table, b) not ... so user would begin to see results asap. But since my browser is on same machine as web-server, I was having to send a rediculous amount of data to see any delay, so I thought I'd try and fake it.

Update: I was pretty sure that partial results could be displayed because I was this:

Not exactly rocket science, was it? Still, there are some fine points here. One is that the program returns headers and the top portion of the page before asking AOLserver for a database connection or asking the database to do anything. This kind of construction ensures that users aren't staring at a blank Netscape window. here
