Is this happening with the latest version? I had a similar issue brought 
to my attention with the PHP manuals not too long ago. I can't remember 
the exact versions that were being used, but there were 2 releases that 
had caused some issues trying to render them. Using a new version had 
significantly improved the speed to something more acceptable.
