As with the TUI file manager, another obvious answer coming from me: eww.

For some reason, I stick with elinks. No particular reason.

Useless info:

links opened (!) the website most quickly. I should have started lynx with --cokies, nevermind. w3m was also quite quick. Then I started them with 'time' just to see if there's a bottleneck somewhere. Seems not. Maybe it's some IPv6 setting somewhere, or really just hit and miss. The third time elinks was quickest in showing the page. Whatever :D
