Hi Gerald Sorry for the late response. Currently the only rewriter that accelerates web pages is ProxyingContentRewriter. It proxies all the resources through shindig and concatenates consecutive javascript and css resources. This helps reduce the number of http requests for the webpage. In general there are lots of techniques that can be applied to accelerate web pages. Some of them include extending cache of resources and prefetching like you mentioned. Take a look at Steve Souders books (Even Faster Web Sites) for more techniques.
Stay tuned for more rewriters to come.
