It is practically instantaneous here.

I don't think so. > Or should I start to use eww exclusively instead of emacs-w3m? Use whatever works for you. I suggest an experiment: create a local copy of that web page on your computer and visit it with eww (something like M-x eww [enter] file:///path/to/the/html/file). See if takes too long. Repeat it running Emacs with "emacs -Q" and see if the delay goes away.
