Message: [QUOTE="j_freak, post: 734498, member: 51029"] Opera loads slow if you are using a graphics intensive skin on an older computer (takes 5-15 seconds). But, since it uses tabs to organize your pages, you only have to wait once. Opera's marketing slogan is "The fastest browser on earth", referring to browsing speed. On my internet connection (56k that runs at about 2k), Opera loads web pages in about half the time that IE does. I have heard that on fast connections (broadband, t1, etc.) IE is faster by 2-4 seconds, due to the fact that a lot of servers run microsoft programs, and IE apparrantly can eek a little more speed out of them than Opera can (just repeating what I've heard, I do not know if this is in fact true) Firefox seems to run slightly slower than Opera, but not much. Haven't had time to really use it though... [/QUOTE]
