10.50 very slow

Hi,

yesterday I've installed Opera 10.50. But it is very slow in showing new
pages.
Today I've compared Opera 10.50 vs Firefox 3.5.3 with the following website
http://www.digital-metaphors.com/
Firefox shows the site after 5sec. Opera needs mor then 20 sec.
Clicking "rbwiki", Firefox shows the site after 5sec.
Using Opera I counted the seconds between "elements 32/48" "elements 33/48"
That needs 8 seconds.
I'd deinstalled Opera and dropped all (!!!) opera-directories and
reinstalled new. The same procedure.
I've deinstalled Opera and dropped all...
I've installed Opera 10.10 (Multi User=0, Directory ...\Opera1010) and it
is very fast. I can't read the elements-counter.
I've installed Opera 10.50 (Multi User=0, Directory ...\Opera1050) and it
is very slow.

Any suggestions or ist a Beta?

Can't verify this. The main page was loaded in 5 sec., the rbwiki-page in
6 sec. (XP + 10.50 final)

No, this is deactivated. And today morning the same procedure.
Now it needs the time to create this Email.
Thanks for your answers. So I've to stay with 10.10.
(I'm using Windows XP.)

Something else not having to do with Opera has to be going on. It
happens. 10.50 is typically much faster than 10.10 according to users
and tests (e.g.,

I'm having the same problem. Installed Opera 10.50 the other day. It's
very slow to load pages. I was using Opera most of the time because of
the speed compared to Firefox, but that's no longer true. I'll
probably re-install an older version or just use K-Meleon which is
very fast, or go back to Firefox.

Seems you're not alone: go over to Opera forum and search on "slow."
Have you filed a bug report?

On opera.deutsch is another Norbert with the same problem. Someone gave
the tip to go to
Preferences > Advanced > Network > Proxy Servers...
and check the box for "Enable HTTP 1.1 for proxy"

Another tip was to go to
Preferences > Advanced > Network > Server Name Completion...
and uncheck the box for "Look for local network machine"

But there is no reply right now, if it works or not.

If it's slow at simply opening an Email tab then something is very wrong
with your system. have you tried bringing up the task manager and seeing
how much CPU Opera 10.5 is using?

Are there any firewalls, local proxies, AV software, custom skins or
anything else affecting it?

Does it load/render pages from disk slowly too? Have you changed *any*
settings from a default installation? Even seemingly irrelevant things
like cache settings or user javascripts?

Have you been able to try more than one Internet connection?

Always try disabling Javascript if you can get away with it. That really
slows stuff down usually. Ebay is about 4 times faster without
Javascript. Paypal too. Any media content will demand it of course.
Shortcut: Alt_T_Q_J That's pretty fast to enable and disable. Very
smart to have the same shortcut for both disabling and enabling. Less to
remember for us.

I've had some slowness issues with 10.50. This is just a WAG, but I
have lots of site blocks in effect external to Opera; ads, 3rd party
tracking cookies, etc.; and I wonder if Opera is waiting too long for
links that will not load?

it is Opera's traditional general problem with timeouts - existed forever as far as I remember.

One of the main points of 10.5 is an updated JavaScript engine, so if
that's still deathly slow, then Opera has missed something.

I just had another thought. Does it make a difference if you disable fraud
protection by going into the preferences, moving to the Advanced tab and
then down to the security settings?

This feature requires Opera to first look up every host name you enter on
a remote database and wait for a response before going to the site itself.
It's enabled by default.

Thnx for this answer, now I'm not so alone with further using of 10.10.
Probably it's a sign, and its time to give firefox or other a try. More
than 10 year enjoing opera's feature...

While loading the pages, the cpu-consuming is 0 or leth than 5%.

10.10 works normally.

Since the problems appear I'm using a fresh installed version, after
deleting all opera-files and registry-settings I found.

No.

Btw, have you reported the problem as a bug, giving some
examples in the bug report, maybe calling it the most severe type?
Then sending along a screenshot of CPU usage, or something else,
whatever is telling?

Thnx for that advice, the other Norbert uses on Windows XP too. Probably
that's the difference for slow or not to slow.

!!!! Enabling HTTP1.1 and it seems to be faster. (in 10.10 it isn't a
problem)

In the forums-community (opera browser) I've added the "opera.deutsch"
advice to the thread
"Opera v 10.50 slow load of the page"
And the bug-report-site tell's me it's enough.

Not necessarily, loading can take more time then running.

Parallel loading of scripts can speed up things.

I had the same lateness in opera 10,50. It looks like those tips solve
my problem. Thanks a lot!
