One other possible solution is once the use clicks the button you can place
an item in Cache on the server side that is unique to the particular user
(maybe some kind of id at postback) and have it expire in one minute or so.
You can check for the cache item on subsequent clicks and just do nothing if
the item exists in cache. You can also clear the cache item once the process
is complete so subsequent processes from the user get executed.
