You would almost certainly have better luck posting on the Opera forums. When I used it on XP, every time I accessed them it would hang (writing to or browsing them). What I remember from having Opera on XP is that a fresh/"clean" install (search for details, I can't find it easily atm), even with importing my previous settings, always resulted in snappier browsing.Īs far as notes go, it seems much better on a Mac (currently 2.3MB notes.adr). My recent experience is with OperaMac (still 9.25), and the worst slowdowns come with checking mail and/or newsfeeds, but you don't mention them in your post and the Mac versions definitely have different wonkiness. "every couple minutes" - Is this hyperbole? I found the same issue best represented in this thread, but there seems to be no definitive answer.ĭoes anybody have any experience defeating this invisible annoyance? posted by sonicbloom to Computers & Internet (12 answers total) 1 user marked this as a favorite However, this happens on pretty much every computer I use Opera on, including desktop comps with faster HDDs and brand new notes files.įYI, i have 1.5 gb ram on my laptop and use XP Tablet edition SP2.įrom my limited use of OperaUSB, I don't think I experience the same issue. removed my extensive ad-blocking hosts file turned off cookies, java, javascript, and plugins removed all bookmarks (opera6.adr is 371kb, about 1000 bookmarks) deleted private data a couple weeks ago, didn't help try running basic html sites with no javascript (no gmail) run a 12Mb ramdisk at boot and use it to store opera memory cache (10Mb) increase priority of opera with windows task manager Here are things I have done to try to alleviate the problem: Then Opera will go into 'non responding' mode, freeze up, and release after about 10-40 seconds. Things will be running smoothly until all of a sudden I try to make an action, such as switch pages or scroll down the page. In the middle of a typical browsing session, I have 1 window open with 4-8 pages. I'm currently running 9.26 after running 9.25 for the last couple months. It seems that the releases from 9.0 on have been getting more bloated or less efficient at managing it's computing load. I've been an avid user of Opera since 1999 and have been an enthusiastic proselytizer, however, my faith is being shaken.
