Are you starting your long running job in the browser? Not good, the whole setup is
designed for request-response, and not long running jobs.

I would try to design the long running update-compare job as a separate process,
writing status or progress information to a file/a db table. Then you have a
corresponding script you call in your browser, showing you status and progress. This
could be done with whole page refreshs or with ajax.
