* Each of those listed benchmarks tests reviews had Opera consistently finishing 1st or 2nd typically vs. all other competing webbrowser programs over time, & yes - In straight HTML processing, Javascript performance (which I consider only heading into exploits faster, as to speed gains here), & even HTML5 tests (iirc, I haven't checked those links recently though)...

(Says it all & "seconds your motion", with backing data from reputable sources!)

P.S.=> Will I try the new motor/engine? Sure - However:

I strongly wager I'll still stick by Opera 12.14 64-bit, since it is amazingly well-done, finally & in pure 64-bit code too!

(Opera's devs have it down solid & with ZERO known bugs afaik, currently, as of this build)...

Plus, Opera's been able to pass the "ACID TESTS" (ACID2 specfically) for compliance to web-based standards since version 6.x iirc, & it was (iirc) actually the FIRST BROWSER (not development kit) to do so, but when counting dev kits, it was 2nd... correct me if I am "off" here on this last point though, guys, & thanks.

Oh, THAT's SO "clever" of you, posting an OLD Opera bug (the one I put up above, it's a "wee bit more current", wouldn't you say? LOL!)...

(See, I can "play those games too", & POST OLD NEWS, just like you (mine's a BIT MORE CURRENT THOUGH, eh??))

Still, based on your "reply", I must ask you a question - Are you, like, into "day old bakery goods" too?

(Apparently you are, posting "OLD NEWS"... lol!)

Still, perhaps that is NOT YOUR FAULT, you posting OLD news that is outta date (again - since FF is PROVABLY slower than Opera, proof below):

Yup: Like I said in my last post? Opera has superior speed (& loads of tests showed that in my last post you replied to)... hence, why you are posting "old news" (stale/outta date) - it's that LACK OF SPEED FF HAS, especially vs. Opera!

IF you love speed online (fastest renderer around for webpage data AND scripting too, both YEARS ago -> http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html#win , and last year too -> http://crave.cnet.co.uk/software/0,39029471,49302491,00.htm , is Opera 10.5.3315 (AND, also per the SunSpider benchmarks recently done this month no less, passing FireFox AND EVEN GOOGLE CHROME yet again -> http://www.pcpro.co.uk/gallery/features/356350/on-test-the-hidden-seven-browsers-in-the-windows-ballot/145087 (which Opera USUALLY owns javascript processing speeds too, but FF passed them BRIEFLY earlier this year is all, for once, in that area)) AND if you love security too!)
