      Apparently YouTube videos are not shown, so try the dropbox link.

        lanbrown I have the same model Mac, I sometimes see slow downs (I did a separate bug report for a GPU process bug in O 29), I also upgraded from 10.9 to 10.10

        I looked in both preference folders for the mDNS .plist files and found none

        Do you have a lot of windows open for Opera? I some times see when a page says it is loaded but I don't see the content (it is all white no page content is shown at all) for another few minutes

        Why Open the Web?

        Despite the connecting purpose of the Web, it is not entirely open to all of its users.
        When used correctly, HTML documents can be displayed across platforms and devices.
        However, many devices are excluded access to Web content.

          Chas4,

          I might have around 25 to 30. I have another MacBook Pro that was one generation prior and I have 40 to 50 tabs and I do not see this issue. Both machines have the same upgrades performed on them.

            Try closing a few windows

            Does the older generation Mac have a Nvidia GPU?

              Note @chas4 said windows, not tabs, since the problem he's seeing is related to having many windows open at the same time. I do not expect you to have the same problem as him with 'just' many tabs open.

              For some of you here: there's a bug in the Apple Dock we're investigating which causes OS X to get very slow if there are any minimized Opera windows. We're trying to find a workaround for it, but in any case check if you have any minimized Opera windows that could have an effect on what you're seeing.

                I do have a lot of windows minimized to the Dock (8 right now & no slow down, but sometimes it is slower with many more)

                    I use Opera before Safari and Firefox (recomended by my supplier)
                    BUT
                    The Opera is e x t r e m e s l o w and it doesnt help to restart either Opera or the Mac, at the same time the Firefox and Safari operates as normal.
                    How can I detect the problem?

                      @eybby have you tried renaming your session files. That worked for me in the short-term.

                      Quit Opera and go to ~/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/ Rename the files session.db, session-db.journal, session.dbak Restart Opera and it will re-create those files.

                        So far the Opera 30 release has fixed my issue. I figured it would as I switched to Chrome because Opera was just unusable. Chrome was one release ahead of Opera.

                          Thanks @lanbrown, Opera 30 indeed improves session handling so I'm glad that turned out to be the problem/fix for some of you.
