Did you try restarting the computer? Try that, it might help. My help viewer was really slow when I first got my PowerBook, but I restarted, and I think that was what fixed it.

I can't think what else might be causing your problem, though, try restarting and see if that fixes it.

In finder, open library then preferences. Find the pref files for help and trash them. (there may be 3) When you them open help they will be regenerated and help will work again
