Hey Mario, I usually run a animated gif or flash during an insert or an update section in a site before going to the next page. I am not sure if that will work for you. You want to be able to show the animation while the page loads then show the results right? Let me see if I can modify some of my code to fit your problem better.

<body>
<div id="loading" style="position:absolute;top:100px;left:300px;">
<!--- Your waiting text or image goes here --->
LOADING PLEASE WAIT...
</div>
<!--- this will send the <div> to the client side before the begining of the queries --->
<cfflush>
<!--- Your big queries go here --->
<!--- finally, just hide the <div> layer --->
<script>
if (document.all)
document.all.loading.style.visibility = "hidden";
else if (document.getElementById)
document.getElementById("loading"
.style.visibility = "hidden";
else
document["loading"].visibility = "hidden";
