Two ideas come to my mind: (ok, actually three) The first one would be a (decently fast) OSMXAPI server. Since the 0.6 API switch there seems to be a shortage of XAPI servers. If there was a stable, fast and up to date XAPI server it would help lots of people and it might reduce load on the main API. The second one would be another tile server (say b.tile.. and d.tile...) located network topologically far away. That should provide faster loading time for many users and would be the first step towards a redundant setup. Biggest problem is probably going to be hosting. The third one would be a faster namefinder / geocoder. But that is most likely not a server but a software issue. Perhaps one of the developers could speak up how far there efforts have gotten and what kind of server they would need.
