A sort of a client-side fullrender button. That you could press and it would download all the tiles for the particular world to your computer, progress bar and all. One could just wait a few seconds while it downloads and then be free to navigate the whole map at full speed without running into slow rendering black areas or having to scroll around at a particular zoom level in order to populate all the tiles in the area for it, which is one of the most oft done and most annoying uses cases when browsing the map.

Optionally with a config setting to have it done by default the first time a particular world+maptype is loaded on a browser. I'm sure there is no one out there that wouldn't trade a few seconds of load time in exchange for an more fluid point and click experience from then on out.
