Help Viewer on X is multi-threaded, but could stand to be more so. We're working on all of the bullets you mention below, not just the rendering.

Unfortunately, Help Viewer has its own problems like noncustomizable text sizes and colors and lack of scroll wheel support.

Don't forget:
* no text selection (someone already mentioned this)
* slow rendering (someone at Apple's already working on this issue)
* single window
* single threaded
* it's Carbon, that means while it's rendering (which can take minutes on my dev machine with large HTML files) the window behaves like a wall of bricks.
