[OpenLayers-Users] Delaying Layer Initialization

[Jeremy Nix]

Is there a way to delay a layer's initialization process? Here's the 
situation that we're running into. We have around ten layers that we 
want to make available, but the screen's initial loading time is immense 
as these layers are mostly tile layers and some servers are better than 
others at feeding up the images. We figure that in a given view, the 
user is most likely only going to use a handful (2-3) of the given 
layers. Maybe a property could be added to a layer to denote whether to 
initialize before set to visible. Does anybody else find that to be 
useful? Or have you found workarounds of your own to deal with similar 
loading time issues?
