Zope does wait for the storage procedure. As long at it takes...

When the page reloads, then this means that your browser
became active -- probably due to a "refresh" meta tag.
Beside the "refresh", many browsers have nasty (and difficult
to configure) timeouts. Of course, they are bad for long
running requests...


Stock Zope does not provide tools for easy UIs to long running
processes. There are some frameworks around, that help with
this kind of problems, e.g. "LocalProc" (for long running external
processes). Search for them...
