clientside processing could either be done in javascript (possibly 
disabled on some machines <g>) or in jython running as an applet.
Storing processed data could be considered quite dangerous <BG>. You 
have to consider security settings / sandbox approaches here.

Unless it is a specific issue for most use cases creating the processed 
file on the server and offering a link to download would be a better 
solution...
