 * Hello, I love this plugin and I hope to see it further developed.
 * I ran P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler) on my site recently and I was shocked 
   to find WP Help [reported to consume so much page load time](http://brianswebstudio.com/files/wp-help.png)–
   more than any other plugin.
 * I’m wondering if you could look into this and perhaps find a way to reduce the
   amount of resources it consumes?
 * Thank you,
    Brian

 * Same deal here. With a fresh WP Help install, here’s what P3 (Plugin Performance
   Profiler) says:
 * Before installing WP Help:

 * Hey there,
 * Thumbs up for this post. I really like WP Help and have been wondering for awhile
   why every sites admin side is sooo sluggish. Disapling WP Help resolved the issue
   and it’s a breeze to work again.

 * I agree with the findings here – I really like the plugin, but I can’t really
   justify the extra load time.
 * I’ve specifically restricted my P3 manual scans to front-end pages, as well, 
   so this lag/load time is also happening when the dashboard isn’t involved!

 * Thanks for this helpful thread. We were wondering if we should continue to use
   this useful plugin despite its being outdated. You called it for us. We moved
   those backend help files to a frontend help site for our network admins. Any 
   alternatives to WP Help you suggest employing now? Thanks!

 * I also agree with the findings. It does impact load time significantly.

 * Has this or will this be addressed?
