Though largely superseded these days, watch a youtube video or two on JQuery. While higher level than straight javascript (for the purists in our midst), it was among the first libraries to really bring asynchonosity into its own (IMHO at least). A decent overview video would suggest the possibilities you might realize with such an alternate approach as Andy and Tilghman have pointed out.

The problem isn't just with the web server, but with the browser, which typically declines to display the page until all elements are received, because additional elements may modify how the page is displayed. Changing to an asynchronous model is going to help with this, by breaking up the interaction into multiple transactions, each of which can individually modify the page after it has rendered initially.
