litebrowser (https://github.com/litehtml/litebrowser-linux) can render
that message in about 20 seconds.  It's slow, but better than the 30
minutes it takes Claws.

I updated litebrowser's bundled copy of gumbo-parser to the 0.12.1
version from codeberg.  It still took 20 seconds to render, which makes
it seem like an issue somewhere in our implementation.
