Would it help if a certain level of 'sparseness' could be guaranteed for 
every layer (i.e. a minimum distance between nodes) to guarantee an 
optimal solution after examining some n closest nodes of the next higher 
level?

It would certainly speed up to pre-compute  all (necessary) 
'connection-nodes' to the next higher layer. In case of a city every 
major junction would have pointers (with associated cost) to every 
motorway-link that is reached at fastest solely via the secondary layer 
network. Do you think like that? Would it be storage space overkill to 
do that?
