Again this problem.
Opera 42.0, Macbook Air 11 early 2014.
The laptop gets hot while using Opera, the activity monitor shows huge numbers of CPU usage (up to 90-130 % CPU) either for Opera or Opera Helper processes (or both), especially while using Adobe and its products (adobe connect, flash, etc.). Sometimes just for no (visible) reason.

The problem started about 2 months ago, I have no clue what version of Opera it was, but it still remains and consumes my battery in huge amounts, plus melts my table and everything where my superhot laptop is (the insides are clean, seems not to be the dust problem).

I can't reproduce this in Opera 20 @ Yahoo! Mail.
Windows 8.1 x64

How is it redistribution though? It is just using the "package manager" in OS X so it can be installed using automated tools.

There is an issue with Package Maker though:

DEPRECATED: Package Maker app.

Apple offer "Product Build" so it can be used with either the "package manager" in OS X or with the App Store.

It just seems like it would be easier to just offer a pkg format from Opera that could be used. Even Adobe does this for Flash; albeit not from the normal download section. Most other software, the .pkg is in the .dmg file so all you have to do is copy it out of there. Opera provides a .dmg but within it is just Opera.app that goes in the "Applications" folder.
