Kinda overkill. ;) I may explore this idea later, but I don’t have great hope for it.

  Most times there are some few links that are very frequently clicked on; for example in Hacker News is usually the "next page" and the "threads". So if there is not one already there should be a way to specify some (obligatory?) preload pages.

    In my opinion even that is overkill. Remember, in most cases it’s already instant. The return on investment (speed/requests) abruptly declines with brute preloading.

    I think you should utilize the prefetch behavior of the link tag for situations such as these. No need for JavaScript at all.

      Could you elaborate this, please.

        <link rel="prefetch" href="http://example.com/page2" /> More info at http://davidwalsh.name/html5-prefetch http://davidwalsh.name/html5-prefetch

  It is overkill, you're absolutely right about that. But that's the good thing about the webs, you can throw the stupidest ideas on the table and the let everyone flesh it out :D
