@caimanraid I have the same problem and I noticed it today.

If somone could help on this, then it would we awesome.

@sakutatempest Do other Chromium based browsers use the GPU?

So, it turns out Avast had quarrantined a whole bunch of the Roaming files... now that I've debugged and re-installed it seems fine.

@leocg Thank you for the pointer!

Fixed it by enabling "Use hardware acceleration when available" in Opera Settings/system (tried a few steps before that; there are some seemingly overlapping settings for this)

(PS. I get an error trying to reply to your reply posting; hence doing this as reply to my own)

Thanks for the help, but I fixed the problem, apparently the GX Corner had problems during the iniciation and the computer thought it was a huge task, so it kept repeating it endlessly, sorry for taking your time

@matthew-dorota The same here and funny enough is that firstly I suspected Teams (which also freezes and lags). But after I have uninstalled Teams, Opera still works slowly.

@antisocialuser Seems a normal usage for the number of processes running. As your research should already have told, you can use shift+esc to see those processes.

@siliconplains44 On Windows, you can open the internal task manager using shift + esc and see the CPU usage of each process. Don't know what would be the shortcut on Mac.

You can try finding it in the menu, it's under developer.
