Here's one:

Quote:Problem: Slow browsing when using a Proxy (e.g. The Proxomitron) - sometimes 'hanging' the UI when lots of tabs are loading together.

Cause: Opera disables HTTP 1.1 by default for proxies (as not all proxies are compatible), thus slowing network performance down.

Solution: Go to Preferences ? Network ? Proxy Servers and turn "Enable HTTP 1.1 for proxies" on. If you use The Proxomitron, also turn off "Local connections persist..." as this (bug) actually turns off outbound HTTP/1.1 from the Proxomitron to the outside web!

More found here: http://nontroppo.org/wiki/OperaPerformance

Do you guys think this is an actual "bug" with Opera and Proxomitron?

Also, feel free to post more "tweaks" for Opera Eyes Closed Smile

Kye-U;

Didn't hpguru, sidki3003 and Jor have a knock-down, drag-out battle over this one? IIRC, the air around Arne's board was rather sulpherous for awhile about which way was faster, and whether or not there might be a mislabeling, or a bug, or what. Others participated too, and maybe it was TEggHead instead of Jor, I don't remember for sure anymore. [unsure]

Someone ought to surf over there and see if that thread can't be exhumed and ported over here. Smile!
