Many scientists just want to play through their time series at a reasonable frame rate and are willing to sacrifice resolution to do it.
Solution
Lower res for playback especially in Z.
Alternatives
drop down in res only while playing and then load higher res.
Smarter buffering idea: This is just one possible implementation but not nearly the only one:
Pre-request 5 frames ahead at very low res, next 5 frames at one res higher, and next 5 even higher. Then if the playback catches up, cancel high res requests and re-request lower.
