Title:
  Dash - Online preview content should be speculatively cached

  Fix Committed
Status in Unity:

Bug description:
  Reduce the incidence of this happening by speculatively pre-cacheing
  the preview data.

  Note the pre-caching is very important to reduce the incidence of the
  user seeing the loading state.  All major browsers currently
  speculatively pre-cache content, so if we are  match user's
  expectations regarding speed of content display (shaped by using web
  browsers) this is something we really need to do.

  ---------------------------
  Desired solution:

  1. When the user opens a preview, results subsequent to the preview
  should start pre-cacheing.

  2. Once a user has previewed one content item underneath a category
  header, as long as the Dash remains open we continue to speculatively
  cache the preview content for the other items under the category
  header (even when the user returns to the results view).  The pre-
  caching stops when a) the user closes the Dash b) the user previews
  the a result from underneath another category header.  In this second
  case the Dash then starts speculatively pre-cacheing the content from
  underneath this new category header.
