Cut of connection though continue processing?

I'm curious if there is a command in PHP that tells the server to finish sending the requested file (let's say after sending </html>) though to continue processing PHP?

For clarification let's say you wanted to execute code that would add several seconds of waiting before the page would finish loading even if all the code was received.

<?php

echo 'This text appears before some heavy processing';
ob_flush();

require_once 'some_really_cpu_intensive_file.php';

?>

Is that what you're after?

Awesome thanks! I tested that out with an echo and confirmed it.
