Actually, Yelp has recieved much love in this cycle (just look at the changelogs from 2.12 onward if you don't believe me ;) ). Some of it was performance work. Check out loading of docbook manuals. Startup is still slow, but thats got a lot to do with libgnome / bonobo / scrollkeeper / mozilla overhead (which we have on the target list for 2.16. Or at least I do ;) ). > > Oh I forgot to mention on Dapper, the Help doesn't work at all - it just > crashes as soon as it's done loading. > Ye, that should be fixed as of todays update. It was an attempt to make Yelp accessible again, but something seems broken in atk or bonobo [1] and so the workaround was removed.
