+> If I change mm-text-html-renderer to gnus-w3m instead of shr, notmuch-show renders this thread in the region of 3-7s, which still feels quite slow, but is an immense improvement. Setting it to lynx gives rendering times in the 2-3s ballpark, but it doesn't do bold/italic formatting, and some characters such are being rendered as escape sequences (e.g. \91 shows up as \342\200\230). So I'll probably stick with gnus-w3m to get (barely) tolerable performance with decent rendering.\r
