Sounds like you are using an older version of Pd where the Help menu stuff was a bad hack. Try this Pd-extended release:

The new Help browser runs quite quickly on every computer I've tried, including my 4+ year old PowerBook.

i have had problems with the browser on os 10.3.9, it does work but takes a glacial age to appear (i just get the spinning beachball for a minute or so), i've taken to opening up the app with the finder and loading the help files straight from there, it's a lot quicker

this is on a 6 year old ibook though ;-)

all the best
