Yes - tell your customers the web ain't windows, and that's the way it is.

Change the approach - submit a job, and your screen will return immediately, or return with a refresh request, and refresh your page every 5 secs (displaying an animated gif of a clock :) ) until you're done. Need a status request, and a subprocess that will update the status once the updates are done.

I always go for one, and tell 'em this is the web - it's stateless.
