Force DOM refresh in JavaScript

I am running a loop within a click event handler doing the following:

The problem is, that the DOM is not refreshed until the loop has terminated. Running the loop for 100 iterations this takes too long, I would like to give a result every time I computed one.

How can I force the DOM to be refreshed?

If you are in a browser that supports it, workers are ideal for this situation.

If not, use setTimeout after each computation to break the callstack and allow the browser to use time on rendering.
