Although loading is slightly faster (5 sec compared to 10sec), working with it is much slower and much more tedious. Disadvantages: 1) Only a small part of the command overview section is visible now at a time. So you (almost) always have to scroll around to find the command of interest. With the old version fitting on a single page a single glance was sufficient. 2) The width for the actual documentation of a command is reduced. This also requires more scrolling. And within the tables (e.g.: [functions]) the description columns are really small now. This makes them less readable. 3) You can't search any more through the whole documentation. The "Search the Database" function at the top (which doesn't work for me in the new version) is in no way a replacement for the very nice and fast incremental search function of Firefox. Conclusion: Gaining a few seconds at the initial loading is not worth the disadvantages!
