    It would be one of the better add-ons imo.

    I'm pretty sure it used be a feature, but was turned off a couple of years back when they were investigating the source of the legendary slow-down.

    I thought that too.

    I really like the idea, but if I had to choose between that feature and a faster loading website, I'd go for the faster loading website.
