I think it=E2=80=99s rendering that takes time, not transfer per se (unless=
 you
have a very slow connection.)

I would like it to use David=E2=80=99s guix-web JS code to add the search b=
ox
and multiple-page split.  I suspect this would address the rendering
time and usability issues.  But of course, that would need help from
someone knowledgeable...  :-)

It would be ideal if this were done in a =E2=80=9Cprogressive enhancement=
=E2=80=9D
fashion, such that it can still be viewed in emacs-w3m.

Thoughts?
