If you run it with `lynx -dump [-nolist] ...` -- the delays are avoided.
The output may not be most pleasing, but could be piped through `less`,
`sed` or other scripts to clean it up, stuff like that.
This isn't helpful if you actually tend to follow further links offered
by that page; but if you just want static output, it's fine.

PS: writing this without actually testing the consequences -- you've got
most of this function wrapped in `( ... )`, putting it in a subshell;
which allows you to then `exit 1` without actually causing your
interactive shell to exit. I think the same effect could be had by
removing the framing `( ... )`; changing it to `return 1`; and omitting
`exec`.
