<![CDATA[Opera 68 is very slow if using Speed Dial]]>Opera 68.0.3618.63 is very slow

I reported the speed dial issue some time ago (https://forums.opera.com/topic/32234/solved-opera-60-0-3255-70-slow-speed-dial-loading) but this is a bit different issue.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install 67.0.3575.137 and clear both roaming and local profile
  2. Open 40 Opera windows
  3. Check the time needed to open 41st window. It should be about 1 or 2 seconds
  4. Install Opera 68.0.3618.63
  5. Open 40 Opera windows and clear both roaming and local profile
  6. Check the time needed to open 41st window. It will be about 20 seconds. If there are a lot of items in Speed Dial window would open ever slower. While opening new window Opera is using 100% 2 cores CPU (i5-6200U).

Also there are other speed issues, Google Maps is working much slower in 68, it is also almost impossible to use Opera forums.

UPD
As a temporary solution I've downgraded back to 67.0.3575.137.

I have open about 220 tabs in 16 windows and more than 60 items in Speed Dial.

During typing text into Speed Dial's search box, opera froze for about 30-60 seconds. (so I rather using address bar for google searching instead)

It did not happen in 67 and older versions.

New window is opened almost instantly if speed dial is hidden and takes about 10 seconds when speed dial is shown. CPU usage is almost 100% while opening new window. 67.0.3575.137 is working fast with the same amount of windows and speed dial bookmarks.

@avl is there any chance some Opera developer set eyes on this issue?

I don't know what the developers did, but HA makes Opera unusable (Opera Stable, Opera GX)

Site such as youtube have loading and playback issues ( video and no sound until the video stops and the sound plays).

I'm not sure what has changed but those issues were not present in the previous versions.

But after I rolled back to Version: 67.0.3575.97 now its working fast again. So its definitively issue with v68 only.
