I use elinks everyday as my primary browser. But I have it open in a term
with -geometry 100x45.

I used elinks a few days ago in a normal (smaller) console and it was
unusable versus lynx.

How does links work for you in an 80-character wide terminal?

Can the tables support be turned off?

Alan, you should copy your entire small Linux to a disk on a faster
system, chroot to that backup and do your lynx/ssl compilation there and
then copy the new executables as needed.

If you do that, you may want to use pkgsrc. It is a framework for building
and maintaining packages.
