I've never done this, but my first guess would be to send the user to a
temp page after step 1. This temp page would have some animated gif so the
user thinks something is happening (step 3). After a fixed time period
(equal to the loop time on the gif), the temp page auto-redirects to a new
page that shows the final results (step 4)
