help, doc commands very slow

Hi, I can't put my finger on why it's doing this, but since a few days help takes a lot of time to show. Either inline (selecting a function, selecting "help for", or by using the commands doc or help. The command "doc cmdname" takes about 10 seconds to show the help window. I did, taking fwrite as example, try "profile on;doc fwrite;profile viewer" and digging through the rabbit hole I arrived on a private java matlab method which is taking forever:
>> tic;com.mathworks.mlwidgets.help.HelpUtils.getDocCommandArg('matlab\fwrite', true);toc Elapsed time is 9.993832 seconds.
Any idea what could be causing that issue ? It also happens in safe mode, with no other running programs than matlab. I'd try a complete reinstall of matlab, but if I could avoid that that'd be great Thanks for your help
