Perhaps.  I'm using an machine identical to Adrian's (110MHz
SPARCstation 5 running Solaris2.5 with 64Mbyte memory).  The html file
is copied to a local (not NFS) disk first.  

Here parsing takes about 15 seconds, and drawing .. well, it is 19
minutes since it started, and it is not finished yet, so I'll believe
Adrian's number.

If I use Emacs 19.34 instead of XEmacs on the same machine.  parsing
takes 6 seconds, and drawing one minute.

Something is very wrong with XEmacs performance.

If I use a 200 MHz UltraSPARC instead (comparable to a PPRO 200 MHz)
the parsing and drawing time are cut to a third.  This makes w3 on
Emacs 19.34 usable.
