Well, I do use Lynx in an 80 * 24 window (unfortunately I can't get more
than 24 high on my GS), and I would benefit from the incremental rendering.

Just last night I was searching for a bunch of movies on the IMDB (www.imdb.com)
and for some reason it would spurt out a few thousand characters, then 
pretty much hang.  After I realized what it was doing, I was hitting Z 
after a while to stop it, and every time saw the data I was looking for
(plot summaries).  Incremental rendering would've gotten me the same thing
without having to manually stop it.

(Yes, I know I just need a new version with this compiled in.)
