Does it help to hide the *Compilation* window (using C-x 1, say)
while the compilation is proceeding?

Another possibility would be to redirect the output to a file, then
open that file, then invoke compilation-mode or
compilation-minor-mode on that file.  (If you choose a unique
filename suffix, then you can put stuff in auto-mode-alist to invoke
compilation-(minor-)mode for you, when you visit that file.)
