Package: elinks
Version: 0.10.4-1
Severity: important

Elinks seems to be pausing when starting up:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~% time /usr/bin/elinks -no-connect 1 -force-html -dump
/dev/null
/usr/bin/elinks -no-connect 1 -force-html -dump /dev/null  0.02s user
0.00s system 1% cpu 1.038 total

It always takes more than a second to start.

When doing an strace, I see that it waits on:

nanosleep({1, 0}, {1, 0})               = 0

This makes the program difficult to use, for example, in Mutt to dump
HTML to text. For example, running a search on a large folder with
emails containing HTML files can take a *long* time.

Cheers,

Hugo
