Delayed GridView Loading

I have a GridView that is loading data from a web service. For each item in the table a call must be made to the web service and they are averaging around a half second per call. So for a GridView with 83 rows it takes around 41 seconds to load the page the first time. After the page is initially loaded the data is cached so it doesn't take nearly as long. What I'm wondering is if there is a way that I could show the user the rest of the page and then load the GridView via Atlas once the rest of the page loads so that the user can at least see the page is loading and doing something? Icing on the cake would be to be able to display a loading gif while the GridView is loading.

Thanks,

Eric

Hello, I think using an UpdatePanel control will make things better.
