Actually,  it seems that lynx does cache source obtained using \.  Try
this:  go to some page,  press \ to get source,  go to some other page,
and return back.  You get the source again,  without loading.  IMHO the
problem is that lynx keeps only one version of document for each
address,  so it is either source,  or the rendered version,  but not
both.   That way, if you keep switching between source and rendered
version with \,  lynx has to load the page every time.  I bet the cache
is indexed by addresses (obviously).
