Comment(by pgiraud):

 Replying to [comment:1 ahocevar]:
 > This may be a good option until we finally find some time to rewrite the
 grid code so tiles no longer need to be positioned, because they use css
 sizing and positioning with percentages instead of pixels. This will also
 make it much easier to use arbitrary resolutions, regardless of
 availability on the server, and animated zooming.

 I think this doesn't address the same problem since, with this
 enhancement, we will still call {{{image.src = 'url_to_image'}}} which
 appears to be expensive.

 introduce new APIProperties on tile- and grid-related classes
 ({{{tileLoadingDelay}}} in this case).

 I don't really mind removing the {{{tileLoadingDelay}}} from API, though I
 still think that changing the way tiles are positioned is a completely
 different feature.

 viewRequestID, which is used on the tiles and kept track of on the Map?

 This should have no impact. But it has to be confirmed.
