But this is not very user-friendly, too, for the user might wait a long time 
without seeing any reaction to their action.  I can see no viable 
alternative to it, though.

It would probably be best if you indicated to them that they need to wait 
some time.  Possibilities that spring to mind is a "loading" message in the 
opener and a change of pointer cursor in the opener issued by popup code 
that is reverted by popup code when everything has been loaded.
