Also check with antivirus, firewall and related software disabled.

Likewise, browsers have internal settings that enable/disable various privacy elements, some of which can have impact in slowing down data flow either to or from a website. Default settings for these in browsers can vary, depending on the line of thinking of their creators, and that can impact performance. You can see some of Opera's settings by clicking the settings 'gear' on the side of the browser, then clicking "Advanced" and then "Privacy & Security".

Opera has extensions installed. Excuse me, the rest, I don't understand.
