The possible prefetch for albums show url is 
("/users/46641/albums/45103.xml", {:owner=>true, :per_page=>12, :page=>1}, {:url_prefix=>"http://staging.mobicious.com"})
this could change if we are viewing a friends album or we are logged out to
("/users/46641/albums/45103.xml", {:owner=>false, :per_page=>12, :page=>1, :hidden =>0}, {:url_prefix=>"http://staging.mobicious.com"})
("/users/46641/albums/45103.xml", {:owner=>false, :per_page=>12, :page=>1, :hidden =>0, :privacy => 0}, {:url_prefix=>"http://staging.mobicious.com"})

My question is should we prefectch all these calls as we would not know in advance which params are passed until the condition is actually called?

For now, just put the prefetch after the conditional. Try to move the conditional to as early in the action method as possible, and then put the prefetches after it. It won't be quite as fast but I think we should avoid adding extra calls for the time being.

To clarify, don't move all of the prefetches to after the conditional, just the ones that depend on it
