Separate layers for each category is an option, however, there are over a hundred categories, and any combination of categories can be on at any given time, so this could prove to have performance issues of it's own.  However, I thank you guys Steve and Kaipi for your advice.  I think I am just going to go back to my old method, which was using php mapscript to generate the tiles, then each time the user selected new categories, purge the cache and remake the mapfile.  It's not the ideal solution but it seems to be the only one.

Haven't really followed this thread, but if your problem is that the map goes "blank" when they drag, untiled, combined with the transitionEffect: 'resize' option will cause the map that you already have to not disappear after a drag. 

Just a thought.
