Confirmed, Firefox seems to load some prebuilt index. And on initial launch has the index in place. While Chrome/Edge both seem to not to cache the index and rebuild it on each launch with the delay noted. Once built, both seem equally robust. To me the online Help seems performant in any browser (assuming network connection). =-testing-= Version: 7.1.1.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 575c5867c4cc13d7ae78f9ce39a54a52ed38c769 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Thanks for the confirmation, Stuart I had indeed thought that some kind of heavy time-consuming processing was going on to build the topic list, but a check with Task Manager shows that throughout the 22 seconds, the CPU percentage remains at 1% or 2% and the disk percentage remains at 0%. Resource manager also gives no clue of any heavy activity going on. Also, when using Firefox, the delay was not present even on the first use, so it can't be an issue of creating some kind of index on first use and then keeping it in a cache. My reason for installing the offline F1 help in the first place is in expectation of that being quicker than online F1 help (not that I've ever tried it). Is there a way to toggle between F1 giving offline help and online help so that I can judge the difference for myself? I've looked in Tools | Options but can't find such a toggle.
