The thing is, this would not suit the situation stated in the original
post.

He runs lynx on the remote system.  The time delay is in shooting back a
new screen full of data after updating the screen.  

Using screen or vt100 would have to be done on the remote end, and so you
still have the "wait for screen to update" problem.
