Yeah, Opera always was noticeably faster than Firefox - and not just over slow links. Although i've never put a great deal of thought into it, it's always puzzled me how one browser can be so much slower than another. The only thing i could think of was rendering speed. But why it would take Firefox so long to render a page that Opera can render more quickly is beyond me. However, Firefox 3 seems to have caught up - and it's noticeably faster than FF2. But, according to this article, Opera's still slightly faster (i think!) : http://www.linux.com/feature/139212 -- http://SnapAndScribble.com
