This one succeeded.
I can send you the file I'm currently working on, if anyone wants to reproduce the problem.
You say below that the slowdown appears with any document from the help menu so that's not a problem of your document.
I was smart enough to split my thesis into chapters in separate files, so right now I have something like 10 pages of text and about 10 figures (imported from .eps files). The typing speed was ok at the beginning but eventually I had to type my stuff in MS Word and then copy into LyX. Now I'm just trying to edit a few minor details in LyX and it's being impossible... I admit, I have had many programs open at the same time (like MS Office, Matlab, Remote Desktop, Acrobat) when I first noticed the slowness, but now even after a fresh restart, LyX is too slow for me to type anything...
That's weird. Could you please look at the memory occupied by LyX (look at memory tab of the task manager). Matlab is a real memory hog... What about 'Remote Desktop'? Are you saying that you use LyX from and external computer and not locally? That may explain the slowness.

I can live with smaller bugs in LyX, but this one above is currently preventing me from using all the other capabilities of this program.
Please don't hesitate to report any bug, small or big, in 'http://bugzilla.lyx.org'. That's the only way we can fix the bugs.
