Massive scroll lag in Opera - very noticeable dropped frames.

As in title, Opera has the worst scrolling performance of all browsers for me. Firefox was always the best in this aspect, but even Chrome is not that bad as Opera. Will this ever be fixed ?

Here’s an example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OwlOpera has always been choppy at scrolling. How hard can this be in 2020?

l33t4opera last edited by l33t4operaHi @adiker, @vegelund, since I'm not able to reproduce the issue in the latest Opera stable (.103) on Linux (I checked it on the Wikipedia page provided as an example), what if you disable
opera:flags#smooth-scrolling, and restart the Opera, does it help in your case? -

@l33t4opera Yes it's fine, but I like smooth scrolling and normal scrolling looks a bit weird to me. I guess very limited amount of people could see this dropped frames when scrolling, but for me it's definitely noticeable and not really acceptable, considering Firefox is just much better at this, barely dropping any frames. Also you should test this on Facebook or Reddit, because Wikipedia is not really demanding site so bad scrolling might not affect it.

@adiker Yes, I see. Perhaps you may try to use it this way (disabled), until the time that probably it will be improved in some way in the Opera.

There is no issue leocg, there is just difference in how scrolling appears in various browsers and power settings.
Some people and setups are more sensitive to this than others.Normal scrolling is OK.
Could you please confirm that scrolling and frame rate with Battery Saver on is vastly worse and more choppy than normal mode?
