I dunno. Maybe. My dad bought an AMD based machine (I forget the model of CPU but it's a Dell C521, I believe) and I installed Opera 9.24 on that machine as his primary browser. After about 6 mos of use, he wanted to switch back to Mozilla Seamonkey because Opera just felt "sluggish" to him and he mentioned the same lag I'm talking about. Maybe it's something with use of Opera by members of my family who own AMD-based machines.

Peace...

tomdkat, you're using Ubuntu 64 bit, right? I've never been able to get Opera installed on my build of it. My only issue with it ever.

Yep, I'm using Ubuntu 64-bit and there are 64-bit .deb bundles I've been installing from.

My dad was running Opera 9.24 (I believe) on a 32-bit Windows XP system. Generally speaking, Opera 9.5 64-bit runs fine and loads sites rather quickly. I'll run into sites here and there that "lag" but when it does load, it loads in a reasonable amount of time.

Peace...
