 * Hi,
 * is it possible to change plugin behavior for option “Cache preload”?
 * currently plugin reads sitemap and renders pages according to list. But sometimes
   it’s not good (what’s the reason for creating pages that are not very popular)
 * I think this could help:
    1) preload cache with some sequence- according to priority
   value in sitemap. More important- first, then less important.
 * 2) define level of priority for pages in sitemap. I can define more important
   pages- giving higher priority rank (1, 0.8 etc), and less important pages- giving
   lower priority rank (0.5 and lower). And in “Cache preload” I could put a value
   for lowest priority: all pages with this value and higher could be preloaded (
   for instance, pages with priority 0.6 and higher. And those with lower values
   would be ommited)
 * 3) preload cache with pages according to popularity. Plugin could maintain simple
   statistics for pages, and I could set option for preloading top X pages (let’s
   say- preload top 10 pages). Or plugin could make use of statistics from other
   plugins (SlimStat co-works with W3TC, you could get most popular pages from SlimStat).
 * Is it possible?

 * It already uses the priorities set.
