Not that slow. But it's definitely much slower than running Firefox on
XP. It's a shame. On the other hand it might inspire me to try linx
and others and see what text browsing is like.

Anybody pure text folk have tips or recommendations for how to
proceed?

This was mentioned by others recently (many thanks!):

export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1

As for pure text, I like w3m.
