It seems you have to call pywikibot.page.Itempage.get() for each item after you get it from the generator. This should be obsolete as the item should already get loaded.

Looks promising!
Looks like this generator has been implemented: def PreloadingItemGenerator(generator, step=50): """ Yield preloaded pages taken from another generator. Function basically is copied from above, but for ItemPage's @param generator: pages to iterate over @param step: how many pages to preload at once """ But it contains a bug: The documentation says it expects a page generator, but in reality it expect an itempage generator. It should probably contain some logic to check for each page if it's an ItemPage already and otherwise make an itempage (like in WikidataItemGenerator)
