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. ‘ shows up as \342\200\230). So I'll probably stick with gnus-w3m to get (barely) tolerable performance with decent rendering. +> +> Just putting this out there to maybe help the next person who gets annoyed by this slowness. +> +> Cheers, +> +> John +> + + -- 2.26.2
