Try this little hack. First time when you load it, just time how long it takes and store it in a cookie. Next time, just assume it takes the same amount of time and show a progress bar. Really easy to code and good enough to fool the user.

That's a really great idea! The best part is that if you can cache anything, subsequent loads should be faster, so the initial load serves as a loose upper bound for the entire load process.

  I believe that's how Mac OS X handles the bootup progress bar.
