Any page with a large number of prefetched links are congesting the network because prefetch fetches have a priority set to high. This blocks any client-side navigation when that navigation was initiated before the page had time to fetch all of its resources / prefetches.
This change sets the fetch priority to low for any prefetch mechanism and defaults to high otherwise (when there's no prefetch) set.
