Opera 10 Benchmarked and Evaluated 277
CNETNate writes "Dial-up connections and flaky Wi-Fi are made significantly more tolerable with Opera 10, it seems. After yesterdays news that Opera 10's first beta had landed, some testing was in order. One major new feature is Opera Turbo — server-side compression — which shrinks pages before sending them down your browser. With a 100Mbps connection throttled to a laughable 50Kbps, Opera 10 proved itself to outperform every other desktop browser on the planet, and there are graphs to prove it. Javascript benchmarks put the new browser in fourth place overall, after Chrome 2, Safari 4 and Firefox, but it indeed passes the Acid3 test with a perfect score. If you ever use a laptop on public Wi-Fi, to not have Opera 10 installed could be a big mistake"

This [isc.org] outperforms every browser on the planet, especially over dialup or flaky wifi. As for the Acid3 test, it passes provided you squint hard enough.

I'm using it since yesterday, and I had to disable Turbo mode,
I, too, had to disable Turbo mode. I found that I couldn't play some games with it enabled.
But, damn, 12 Mhz is FAST!
