Steven,

I reply not to disagree, but to flesh out some of the specifics. 

First, I'm running 1.9GHz with 1 Gb RAM. While that would perhaps run
apps a little faster, I don't see how it would cause us to have quite
opposite experience in comparing Opera and Galeon speed.

Let me give an example of my frustrations with Opera. If I hit K2 to
bring up the Go to Page dialog, it pops up a bit slowly, but it takes
a couple additional seconds for the window to gain content and even
more to acquire the focus. If I have a URL in my clipboard to paste,
bringing up the dialog empties the clipboard. If instead I type the
URL, the first letter goes not type. I waste a lot of time playing
games just to visit a URL. 

Another problem is web page loading hangs. I'll click on a link, and
the load hangs. I go and do something else for a few more minutes and
come back to find the page has finally loaded.

Another petty example. I go to use the Search text field. If there is
a string still there from my previous search, I select it, but DEL
won't get rid of it, more often than not. I have to delete it letter
by letter and type in what I want.

It's the accumulation of these annoyances that are driving me away
from Opera.
