Force tab to render

[Alon Eitan]

Is there a way to force a certain tab to render, even without currently being the active tab?

The reason i need to do this is because my extension uses chrome.tabs to open multiple tabs and switch between them, and whenever I switch to a tab which has not yet been active, the tab has not rendered yet, which causes a white flash to appear on the tab until the tab renders. The duration of the white flash is also proportional to how heavy the web page is to render.

What I've noticed though, is that if you switch to a tab which was active at least once in the past, the white flash does not appear (since it has been rendered at least once in the past)

I need to force a tab to be rendered before switching to it, so that the white flash doesn't appear. 

I am writing on chrome version 38 (due to technical restrictions)

Thanks

I'm not aware of any way to do this currently.
