If it’s pre-caching the “next page” of paginated results, it very well may be doing unnecessary work, unless I missed something. Still, minor criticism in the scheme of things.
Ah, that’s fair. Unfortunately that’s the one thing a user is in control of in terms of choosing to do it or not do it, so we can’t cancel that when a user decides not to :(
