      After further testing, the smooth scrolling extension seems to have made minimal/no difference to the low framerate jerky scrolling, making it worse on occasion... After disabling it, scrolling went back to a more steady, but still <10fps scrolling, though now seemingly more responsive to diagonal/sideways scrolling.
      I wish to submit that this low-framerate scrolling with touchpads/Windows Precision touchpads is a bug in Opera.

        when opening that page https://www.sapsalis.gr/ and then opening Opera's task manager it shows that even when not scrolling the page is eating up inordinate amounts of CPU time and the memory usage continuously climbs and scrolling is also really bad here too using a mouse it feels like adsl days of 2~4Mb speeds not the Gigabit speed I have and it's just jerky jerk jerk all the way down the page

            Thank you, @burnout426 for linking the bug report website; I didn't know where it was. I have submitted a bug report just now.

                This is really weird... I was on O_55.something (the version where you fixed that "New Tab Omnibox not focused" bug), then this afternoon, I updated to O_55.0.2994.61, and scrolling feels a lot better... Not sure if it's fixed yet or not. Will keep y'all posted.

                      Has anyone else noticed smoother touchpad scrolling since updating to version 55.0.2994.61? Using Opera the past couple of days, and scrolling with the touchpad feels a lot nicer in general.

                          @darthagnon In this page sapsalis.gr, the scrolling is really heavy. I don't know why. Chrome and Mozilla it's good.

                                  Thank you for posting that website; the scrolling issue can be reliably reproduced on that page. The problem is not solved, and still exists in Opera 56. I feel that on some sites that I was visiting, it may have improved slightly, but overall, scrolling is still jerky and unresponsive in Opera as of the latest version of O56. Please visit the posted site sapsalis.gr (Greek meme site or something) and attempt scrolling, pinching-to-zoom, and diagonal and horizontal scrolling using a touchpad on a Windows laptop to reliably reproduce the problem.
