One thing you could do to increase speed (and increase your security) is to run FireFox:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
Although running FireFox will render the page much faster than IE, the Korean site will probably still be slower than other sites simply because the website is large. For example, the html alone is over 140 Kbytes:
$ lynx -head -source http://cyworld.nate.com/main2/index.htm | grep -i length
Content-Length: 140059
and that doesn't include all 159 images the page references which the browser then has to request and load:
$ lynx -source http://cyworld.nate.com/main2/index.htm | grep -ci img 159
In addition, the speed problem could be bandwidth. Here's a time comparison between it and a similarly sized file on cwelug.homelinux.org:
$ time -p lynx -source http://cyworld.nate.com/main2/index.htm > /dev/null
real 62.69
user 0.03
sys 0.03
$ time -p lynx -source http://cwelug.homelinux.org/zfoo.txt > /dev/null real 10.25 user 0.03 sys 0.01
Even with the same sized file, the korean site was 6 times slower. Then again, maybe it's because of the type of server software:
$ lynx -head -source http://cyworld.nate.com/main2/index.htm | grep -i server
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
