The FAQ still references LOADPATH. This patch fixes that and fixes a few
typos in dynamic.txi

Octave takes a long time to find symbols.
! Octave is probably spending this time recursively searching directories for
! function files. Check the value of the internal variable LOADPATH,
! accessible through the Octave fucntion @code{path}. For those
! elements that end in @samp{//}, do any name a very large directory tree?
! Does it contain directories that have a mixture of files and
! directories? In order for the recursive directory searching code to
! work efficiently, directories that are to be searched recursively should
! have either function files only, or subdirectories only, but not a
! mixture of both. Check to make sure that Octave's standard set of
! function files is installed this way.

Octave takes a long time to find symbols.
! Octave uses the @code{genpath} function to recursively add directories
! to the list of directories searched for function files. Check the list
! of directories with the @code{path} command. If the path list is very
! long check your use of the @code{genpath} function.

The major issue is that the help string will typically be longer than a
single line of text, and so the formatting of long help strings need to
! be taken into account. There are several manner in which to happen this
issue, but the most common is illustrated in the following example
