      My current Opera is:

      Version:	39.0.2248.0 - 
      Update stream:	developer
      System:	Mac OS X 10.11.5 64-bit
      

      Even with battery saver turned on, Opera still uses huge amount of energy.

      For instance a screenshot.

      This process which occupies entire CPU (100%) has following properties:
      Real memory size: 405MB
      Threads: 19
      Ports: 346
      Open files and ports:

        I forgot to add - when I force-killed that process, nothing seemed to change in the active tab. So that has to be some background process (updater?) or some kind of an extension.

        Any thoughts?

          You can use Opera's task manager to see which process this is.

          Turn on the developer menu using 'View -> Show Developer Menu'
          Then go to task manager using 'Developer -> Task Manager'.
