This particular feature would be of significant value for my company's usage, as the vast majority of my slideshows have pagers. (Presently it works in a sub-optimal fashion: the pager dots appear as each slide is transitioned to, defeating the use of the pager dots as they won't all appear until the slideshow has cycled through fully once.)
At present, slideshows with pagers are not supported with the progressive option per final note on http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/demo/progressive.php
