Actually, HTML is slow only when you have to start a 
multimegasized browser that is capable of rendering all the bells 
and whistles of modern web pages. If you keep the complexity of 
HTML in help-files to the minimum, it's an easy task to write a 
simple and fast renderer for that. This would also bring the 
advantage of having the same documentation online.
