[Opera-Linux] Opera-Linux Digest, Vol 31, Issue 2 - How to reload faster?

[Parameshwara Bhat]

Hello,

Here I too have observed this behaviour.I cannot say with which version it  
started,my own version is 9.21.

I have seen this happen in fedora,Kubuntu,opensuse and now, pclinuxos.

This sluggishness increases with the length of uptime.To the extent,it  
weighs down the OS and environment so much that the whole system slows  
down.Close opera,you can immediately feel the difference in system.But  
till you logout and re-login,system fels sluggish.

Also,if I click on a link in a webpage,till opera gets connected to the  
new server,it doesn't take any input whatsoever,you can't have menu  
operation,page switching,nothing at all.

I do not remember this behaviour from anytime ago.This must have started  
around 9.0.For sometime now,I had been feeling my linux os slowing down  
and I was wondering.Opera is always on in my system.But,two days ago,I  
felt what I have described above.
