Opera 10.5 beta available (Smoking JavaScript performance) Friday, February 12, 2010 at 7:36 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by gewg_ (4178 messages posted) If you are irritated by slow performance on JavaScript-intensive sites and are antsy to get past that, Opera 10.5 beta offers a big speed improvement. http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=10/02/12/192205&mode=nocomment Opera says it is 8 times faster than their current 10.1 release. ElReg estimates that it is 7 times faster than 10.1. Opera claims it to be the world's fastest browser. It did beat Google Chrome[1] on the SunSpider test suite but ran behind Chrome on the V8 suite. [1] For some time now, Chrome has been the pace setter --but it won't run under Win9x; Opera is supported under Win98.
