help system out of control

[John A Grandy]

does anyone have the experience of the help system integrated into the
vs.net ide taking over the cpu for a minute or more, lots of
pagefile-churning, in
response to just typing a few characters into the index match text box?

The help system has a lot of material to cover, so searches churn a little
even on fast machines with lots of memory, but I've found you get much more
satisfying performance if you set your options so that the help system runs
outside of the IDE--in other words, go to Tools, Options, Environment, Help,
and select the External Help option.
