What we did not consider was your connection speed to your ISP, does it happen you tried at busy time of the day?

Anyway fine report, good system and we already know now you are used to 'better speed' I am guessing when both FF and Opera wake up soon they will both be fast. I will bail out of the thread for now.

If you want to download opera 10.10 I have one here.

it's a gunzip file so use

tar -zxvf     <program name>tar.gz
Hope this Helps.

Thanks, I downloaded.
I should remove 10.70 first, shouldn't I?

[eMeRy]

I removed 10.70 Opera trough Synaptic, then untar and installed the package that ka_xer uploaded.

So, the old version fine, no lag when new pages are loaded. Thanks for your help, ka_xer!

new opera works horrible in e17 - I personally also prefered the older version

Try turning off smooth scrolling.

Another thing that might work is going to appearance and turning off special effects.

Running 10.70 on a clean 2010 install (fully updated, only synaptic repos) for a few days already; works beautifully. Much better than 10.10 (smooth scrolling on).

Welcome to forum a great place to find help and information.  Look around and do read some of the musts as well 

Yes Opera 10.70 deserves to be on the frontline, but it is still a beta in my opinion. I have been unable to pin down the problem so far but since I am getting on fine at the moment I have left it. 

I am running it with plugins off to preserve my twin engined motherboard. Therefore I am interested to know the specifications f your pc/motherboard

Hello Wedgeling, and thanks for the welcome.

I'm not a new user, actually. Been with PCLinuxOS for about three years and was a member of this forum for about two years.

Cancelled my membership a few months ago but back now (with a reset of my postings to 0, but that's only fair).

Hardware is P4 3.4, 4Gb ram, Nvidia GeForce 9500GT 1Gb ram, motherboard Intel D945G.

Never had the overheating problem you mention.

Thanks, for information. No you don't want that overload either. You can spot it with using top in konsole. I use gkrellm as it gives a nice overview over cpu. It will not shut down your system but perhaps seem a bit slow.

This is single cpu board?

[odin]

Yes, it's one cpu, although sometimes I see it listed as two (?).

[pags]

Yes, it's one cpu, although sometimes I see it listed as two (?).

Dual Core?
Hyper-threading?

[odin]

Well, no, it's not a dual core processor, and I have no idea why some tools see it as two processors (among them Windows in its device manager section).

The "Intel Processor Identification Utility," however, sees it as only one processor which "supports hyper-threading technology."

Go figure...

Thank you, I will make a note as perhaps or or two processors may play a role.
