Most require far too much execution time to be done over HTTP, you hit timeouts too easily.
Huh, that's annoying. Would a progress ticker be sufficient to keep the connection alive and the admin interested?

There's some extensions that make a stab at it (Maintenance and MaintenanceShell), but I'm not sure what they do to try and overcome the timeout issue. I'm sure it's doable, and it's probably more doable now with the new Maintenance class, rather than trying to shell out to other scripts like we used to :)
