Please describe the "jump" you see on your side.
There should not be any jump, the only visible difference between two stages
- highlited bar for active link which is not available in partial mode.

if you wait ~24 lines for half an hour we cannot provide a solution
for you :-)

We may add a special switch in lynx.cfg
like "DISABLE_PARTIAL_FOR_LOCALFILES" specially for you.

NO!
An example: I test/use Lynx -localhost on my slow 386 computer,
it loads local 400KB html file for about 20 seconds, but in partial mode
I got the first screen immediately and may read/scroll text normally.
