Opera slow in Ubuntu

    I've been an Opera user for a long time in Windows, but I just tried it (v 8.54) in Ubuntu Breezy Badger and it's going much slower than I'm used to. One of my favourite things about Opera has been its instant back and forward operations. When you click back it instantly displays the previous page. It doesn't check for newer versions of the cached page or anything silly like that.

    Or at least it did, in Windows. Now I'm using it in Ubuntu and it does the usual moment of network retreival before displaying the page, at least for dynamic pages like boards' PHP. I think static HTML is still okay, but navigating around threads in boards is about the same speed as firefox now. Irritating :(

    Does anyone know if there's an option somewhere to tell it to stop trying to redownload the page and just grab it from the cache like it does on windows?

    I'd say the number of people here who use opera on ubuntu is limited. I'd suggest checking out the ubuntuforms.org site.

    I use Opera on Ubuntu, and don't really find it much slower than windows.
    There's a "static" version of it too ("opera-static" on their apt repository), which may be faster - it does some graphics rendering differently or something.

    I don't think this is anything to do with opera per se.
    It's probably the same problem as this thread above.
