If w3m is being a little slow to load a page (due to say, being behind
dialup, though a very large page should work as well), and I type ahead,
it seems to lose some but not all characters I type. Looks like the
first two are ignored and others have effect.

For example, if I type "/q" while starting, w3m loads the page and then
quits. The "/" was not seen so it didn't enter search mode. Very
disconcerting.

Same happens if I type "//q". OTOH, if I type "///q", it comes up with
the page loaded and "Forward: q" displayed at the bottom.

it might be, that w3m displays messages about cookies or
ssl-certificates. These will be displayed for a certain amount of time,
unless any key is pressed, so that it seems as if the first keys are
ignored because you will not see the messages anymore.
