        Only single window, ~10 tabs opened at the same time. But after I rolled back to Version: 67.0.3575.97 now its working fast again. So its definitively issue with v68 only.

          I have the same problem
          Also, the speed dial is slow
          Two older versions had no problems
          I have 272 tabs
          While opening newtab Opera is using almost 100% 8 cores CPU (i9-9900k).

              @hbilke Sound strange. It would be nice if you share the installer using Google Drive or some other cloud.

                  Ok, Opera 68.0.3618.104 is much better, but still very slow.

                  67.0.3575.137: 2 seconds
                  68.0.3618.63: 15 seconds
                  68.0.3618.104: 10 seconds

                    I updated opera a few days ago and 68.0.3618.104 is very unstable for me. 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.

                      Hi everyone, if your Opera is extremely slow, disable "Use hardware acceleration when available"

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

                        @celadyn This seems to make things far more stable, some cpu spiking when loading pages but this is far better than what it was. Thanks!

                              I fixed my shopping comparison bar, it was in Avira browser safety settings.

                                My 67.0.3575.137 is telling that there is a security update, so I checked 68.0.3618.165

                                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.

                                Opera 67 CPU usage on opening new window:

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

                                      In 68.0.3618.173 problem persists.
                                      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.

                                        In 70.0.3728.71 it seems to be solved.
