Opera Tweaks for Speed
The Opera browser is fast. I find that it is faster than Firefox and Internet Explorer. There are performance tweaks that makes Opera even faster. At least that is what I have found, on both my desktop and my laptop. Here are the changes that you might want to try:
where the URL of a site appears in the address bar type: opera:config
this opens the Preferences Editor
go to Performance and click
change Max Connections Server to: 16
change Max Connections Total to: 64
change Network Buffer Size to: 32
Save
Exit Opera and restart the browser
Of course, the usual disclaimers apply. However, to the right of where the changes were made, there is a button to restore each setting back to the Default. With the changes, the speed at which Opera works should be noticeably faster.

Thanks, Catherine,
Your trick to speed up Opera worked on my sluggish dial-up connection. Really appreciate your hint.

I downloaded the OPERA 10 BETA and its buffer size is 128 not 32 so try using 128 instead. I also have OPERA MINI on my BLACKBERRY. OPERA 10 is super fast..Thanx for the other tweeks though.
