Err, who thought that was a good idea?
When the request is not asynchronous, the JS is stopped, everything is stopped.
As everything is stopped, the browser blocks events, so the page is 'freezed' until the callback returns.

see http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

>Note that synchronous requests may temporarily lock the browser, disabling any actions while the request is active.

It's a pain when the server is taking some considerable time.
