For the long running task you might get some idea from cvsmonitor (Perl
code).  It has a long running task that is updating some repositories and
giving feedback from time to time to the user.

One thing is: detach all what is possible from user interface and give
feedback from time to time to avoid browser timeout and the user thinking the
app hanged.


Be seeing you,
