I'm sure of that, unfortunatelly the money and the economical acquisitions always make the big diference and make larger gaps.

another page, that is exceptionaly slow on opera is gametrailers.com – it is mostly because of extensive use of flash+js there, but still (and videos are often strangely displaced on that page, but that is another problem and affects all browsers)

on the other hand – gametrailers are VERY slow on ff3 IF you engage page zoom. opera traditionaly slows down with zoom (it is acceptable and expectable) but ff3 slows down to a crawl on this page.

btw. ebay is slower probably due to various browser.js fixes that are needed there for that page to work. gamereplays has no such fixes.

Opera 9.5 build 9903, not a particularly powerful PC. @nobody, nope, menus are instant for me. Opera 9.5 build 9903, not a particularly powerful PC.

What build of Opera are you running? Apart from particular sites that send less optimised code to Opera, or those that are problematic, Opera 9.5 certainly feels on a par with ff3/safari performance wise. The only exception being ebay, which for some reason always feels slower to load and render even in the latest build of Opera 9.5 Seb :) @nobody, re. gamereplays.org

It would be interesting to try to compare Konqueror to the other Linux browsers, but I guess they don't want us to know ...
