Netsurf really is the best 'modern' browser for the Amiga 68k. I've noticed that it seems a lot slower than it is, because it waits to show anything before it's rendered. The trick most browsers do to make them seem faster is to start showing things as they're loaded, but netsurf doesn't do that, it waits the 5-15 seconds (for me) to then show the page is loaded, but it loads the whole thing.
Could be a couple of reasons:
a) The Framebuffer frontend sucks
b) NetSurf doesn't have a dynamic layout engine (yet), so if you load a page with images that don't have their sizes specified in the HTML, you might find it waits to do layouting until it knows the sizes of everything.
On the OS4 frontend it definitely can display pages before all the images are loaded. I wouldn't expect the Framebuffer frontend to be any different in this regard, so it's probably (b).
