That would be a nice enhancement. As usual I guess we need a champion 
and/or some funding to make this happen.

I came across a similar use case not long ago and realized that to get 
top performance at all zoom levels we'd also need the ability to 
associate overviews with the VRT. I didn't check if creating external 
overviews with gdaladdo would work for a VRT already. Maybe it does?
