Great idea. Besides that I want say that every player has the right to use all the time he wants within the agreed time limit. (e.g. 3 day per move)
I am such a player myself and I am in no hurry at all.

Except if you are in a clearly lost position. Then you owe it to others to move on.

Of course it's a great idea: http://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/chesscom-feature-request-and-wishlist-4?page=9 
Just a simple suggestion to help with the problem that I see often, which is a couple of slow players holding up hundreds of other people in a tournament:
Why don't you set it up so that the next round of a tournament starts as soon as the participants are certain (which is often before all the games complete).
For example, if there is a game between the 2 lowest players in a group remaining, there's no reason to delay the next round for that, just let the top player advance and the tournament can continue.
Should be pretty easy to implement?
