When unplugged, emacs-w3m fails few seconds later, but this isn't
the point.

When I add the follwing traffic control setting to emulate the slow
network,

    # tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 5000ms

emacs-w3m displays the page about 30-40 seconds later.

When I remove the traffic control setting,

    # tc qdisc del dev eth0 root

emacs-w3m displays the page about 1-2 seconds later.

I have no idea how to rescue your situation, though I guess
something is wrong with your system.
