Bug Description
Binary package hint: yelp
On a Maverick amd64 system with yelp 2.30.1-0ubuntu1, ubuntu-docs 10.10.5, and gnome-user-guide 2.30.0+

(2) After loading About This Document (by either means), clicking another link in the bar on the right (for example, "Basic Skills") and then clicking "About This Document" again loads the About page immediately, without wait or excessive CPU usage.
(3) After loading About This Document (by either means), clicking the back button (or clicking N links and then clicking the back button N+1 times) and then clicking "About This Document" in the bar on the right (NOT from the File menu) produces the same wait time and CPU spike as occurred when loading the About page the first time.
I am able to reproduce this bug on a Maverick i386 system (with the same three package versons as on the amd64 system mentioned above), and also on a Natty i386 system with yelp 2.30.2-0ubuntu1, ubuntu-docs 10.10.4, and the same version of gnome-user-guide as on the Maverick systems (2.30.0+
