Normally, the easiest approch is to "stream" the results back to the 
client, is to start the result page with "ns_headers" and send partial 
results via "ns_write", i.e. something in the lines of:

    ns_headers -binary 200 application/pdf
    ...
    ns_write ...
    ...

But maybe you are doing such an approach already, but you want to spool 
in the background using "ns_conn detach", but you have not used the 
"-binary" flag for ns_headers?
