Very slow for certain site

I have been using Opera for awhile now. The site in question is not usually a problem but since last night and today it is possible to access it, eventually, but it's EXTREMELY slow. Pretty much useless.

The site in question is a discussion forum, here:

http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/default.asp?biz

Sometimes if I tell Opera to STOP loading, the page will suddenly appear. Generally it just keeps returning a blank white screen, eventually loading the page after around 7 minutes or so.

I have tried disabling Malwarebytes malicious page block - no difference.
I have tried clearing Opera's cache - no difference
I rebooted - no difference
As this is a new PC I tried resetting the DNS servers to Google's 8888 - no difference
I've tried disabling the only 2 extensions in Opera, Roboform and Adblock - no difference
I've tried uninstalling Opera and reinstalling it - no difference

Finally, in desperation, I tried Internet Explorer. The site loads fine in IE, so it's not the site or my connection.

The problem is with Opera. So any ideas how I can fix this? Or can you provide a link so I can download an earlier version which works?

Thanks.
