Hi Alexandre,

We're trying to use the WMSBrowser UX but we're facing the performance
problem you're describing with tiles served by a not-cached WMS
server. Using singleTile and buffer would be great for those layers.
Attached is a patch against the sandbox which allows the user to
configure the WMSBrowser with a layerOptions parameter.

Does it sound good to you, and do you mind if I commit this in your sandbox ?
