Looks like a known issue (eve on my P4 2.4 GHz 2 GB machine).  It does
load eventually.  I know the Yelp author is aware of these issues, and
has fixed the performance in yelp-2.5.x.  I just tested the Gnumeric
help, and it loads almost immediately.  This means you should expect
this problem to be resolved in GNOME 2.6.
