Problem with Opera (9.52 and above) - time lags

Hi,

I usually use Opera as web browser on my Mac (10.5.6). But I have a certain problem with any version of it newer than Opera 9.51: After installing it on my system, every website I open for the *first* time needs up to 10 seconds before it starts loading. If I had opened the website one time, browsing on the same site is absolutely fast (as it should be and as it is with Opera 9.51 every time). It feels like Opera's new versions need to have sth. like a "first contact" to every server I hadn't visited before which takes very long before I can surf on the site in regular speed.

After deleting the new version (I've tried a few of them, including the actual 9.63) and going back to Opera 9.51 the problem is gone.

First I thought that must be a popular bug and they are going to fix it shortly. But none of the new versions since 9.51 solved the problem, am I the only one who has it?

Have you contacted Opera support or joined in their forum and asked?

Opera Mini - Opera Community

Regards.

Would check with their forums also. Am a long time fan of Opera. Have not experienced that issue myself. Currently using the new Opera 10.0 Alpha 1. Maybe give it a try.

Thanks for your help, I just posted the issue on the Opera board.

But I've also installed the Opera 10.0 Alpha 1 as you said and I must say I'm very happy with it, it's very fast and impressive! Is there any problem with using it as long as it is an Alpha? (It hadn't adopt my bookmarks and stuff, but I've imported them manually and I'm still typing in all my passwords... Hope I can update this Alpha-thing as well as a regular version when they release it? I wonder if I have to type in anyhting again then)
