No, I don't know of anything better.
Maybe if you opened a smaller browser window the refresh would be smoother, but I think this would take alot of Javascript and the programming an coordination between the browser windows would get real messy. Microsoft uses this in its Windows Update where it shows a progress bar in a smaller browser window.

Make sure your response.buffer is set to true, which I think the default.
