I don't know what kind of computer you use, of course, but if you ment
the startup time for a browser, then maybe it is a half second or so, but
does it matter? It happends once, when one start to work on a pamflet.
LibreOffice takes also a half a second if not more to startup every time
and I have quite decent machine.
If you start a Chromium process, and then connect from within Emacs with
impatient-mode, I don't think you would suffer from lack of real time
performance; not for something like a pamflet.
Another option is to use some webkit wrap + xwidgets, but I haven't
tryed it myself. No idea how easy to use or good it is, but for preview
it should probably be good enough. I have seen some Reddit threads
and YT videos where people demonstrated it, but I didn't care to try
myself.
Here is some 4 year old video where a guy is demonstrating xwidgets and
webkit to render html in gnus:

(download with youtube-dl to skip proprietary js)
Very nice presentation by the way.
With HTML+CSS as intermediate file format, one can have some predefined
templates with a pamflet size, layout, typografi etc, and then just edit
content of few html tags.
