AJAX don't wait for response

I have a webpage that has a simple AJAX request on page load:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.get("ajax.php?do=something", function(response) {
        alert('response');
    });
});

This request takes about 15 seconds on my local test machine. The ajax.php does use session_start(), but calls session_write_close() straight after (almost straight after - it is called before any of the intensive processing is done):

<?php
session_start();

if(empty($_GET['do']))
    die("!Invalid request.");

$do = $_GET['do'];

if($do=="something-else")
{
}
else if($do=="something")
{
    session_write_close();

    $customerId = $_SESSION['customerId'];

    //processing done here
}
?>

The problem is the once this page loads, the AJAX is fired, but then if the user clicks on a link to go to another page, the browser waits for 15 seconds and then redirects.

I want to let the user go to other pages without having to wait, or if they stay, i want them to see the response.

EDIT Just to clarify it a bit more. Every page has a session_start() at the top, including the one that the user is trying to go to.

I am using the session in the ajax.php, and have edited the original question to reflect this.

Where is the link that is being clicked? Where does the link point to and how does it tie in with the AJAX you have posted? From what I see the AJAX worked as expected. You are not doing anything with sessions so you might as well not have any session start or close.

I would post this as a comment but it wont let me therefore I am giving this as an answer until you can give more details.
