Pie charts in your favicon
It would be useful to tie this in with something like YouTube, where the pie graph represents how much of the video has been buffered.
Similarly for a page that auto-refreshes, it could indicate that interval.

I am not sure about the Youtube since they have stopped buffering the whole video in one go. It just waits at the 30sec mark for you to cover the first 10sec and then jumps another 30sec, so on. Guess, its some bandwidth saving technique.
