[OpenLayers-Users] Prioritizing layer requests

[Ben Brehmer]

Hello,

I was hoping to get a little insight into how layer requests are qeued 
up and sent out in OpenLayers.

I have 2 layers, one of which takes a really long time (due to server 
side computation) which is an Image layer. My other layer is just a 
plain vanilla KaMap layer.

I want to reduce the response time for the image layer by forcing it to 
send out its request first.  Is there any way to prioritize the order in 
which layer requests are sent out since . Maybe by setting some layer 
parameter or through some side effect such as the order in which layers 
are added to the map?

Any insight would be helpful. Thanks,

Ben
