And I say:
I've always seen Lynx' speediness as one of its greatest assets. Loading
graphics is a very time consuming process and Lynx thankfully cuts that out
of the formula. It has always been quick for me. I don't even find the
navigation too bad now that I'm used to it. I can go most anywhere with just
the arrow keys. I suppose if the program or system is poorly configured that
would degredate the experience. I've run it on both Linux and DOS platforms.
