Could we then change the priority a bit?

Currently hand-request with priority 1 can get transformed into 2 and have 
to wait untill the auto-tiles are done.

Having priorities from 1 to 16 and everything > 10 as auto requests 
seems to be a good idea.

BTW: Is there an interface to request multiple new tiles at once?
