I have a demo, it just shows the count of characters.

But kills opera with the over 4meg ajax load, works fine in FF 2 & Safari.

$(function(){

	$.ajax(
		{type: "GET"

		,url: '/cat.cgi?Library.xml'

		,complete:function(r){
			var t = r.responseText

			$('#status').text('loaded')

			var v = t.substr(0,500) + '…'
			$('#msg').text(v)

		 }
		,
partial:function(r){
			var t = r.responseText

			$('#status').html(t.length)

		 }
		})

});

Retarget all enhancements/features to next major version.

Bikeshed/feature creep. Marking for review.

#5585 is a duplicate of this ticket.

Worth a look; we can accept/reject with the upcoming ajax rewrite.

See the solution proposed in #8237, based on the ajax prefilter feature added in 1.5.
