Sorry - yes you are right, it's the other way round from what I wrote.
Lines get wrapped with ncurses, but effectively truncated with slang.

Slower or not shouldn't matter in our case, since none of this should
happen in the "normal" situation.  When lynx is in tune with the screen
width, it wraps or truncates lines before the excess characters get
to curses or slang.
