I think a GUI is very important, almost just as important as performance. If 
we were in a fairytale world where we could get two GSoC students, I'd rather 
see one work on performance and another on a GUI than to see both work on 
performance.

As for the original question of network vs. cache, I think the network is more 
important, simply because it is the harder of the two.
