Opera in Windows is fastest! *Why?* Please clarify!I doubt that the reasons can be given unless they are very obvious. This whole question of "faster" depends so much on feelings and specific applications/sites.I know opera in Debian is faster on my two-seater than iceweasel. But that is when it reads my wordpress blog. But in most other sites the advertisements get in the way and then it is slower again.Hugo
I think it is a common complaint that FF in linux starts up slower than in windows. Took me awhile to get used to it.
