I like this idea, it actually is one of the annoying 'features' I didn't think
to ask have changed, but it makes a lot of sense. I have been stuck for upwards 
of 1/2 an hour waiting for a group to start loading at times. It should be an
option at the very least. I can't think of a better solution than just allowing
group loads to have the same 'priority' or whatever as msg reads.
