Try this site with Opera and Firefox, you get VERY different results: http://www.speedtest.net/
It looks like there is something wrong with Opera.

Windows 2000 and TCP settings for high speed ADSLCrows smart, people stupid

I don't have Opera here on this machine, but I know there is big changes in both Opera and Flash these days. Adobe did some changes without telling, and now they are fixing it togheter. Seems to be getting along well. Although I have no idea if that has anything to do with it though.

Seems to get pretty good results from this computer. Wondering where the Oslo server is.

What I can see is performing the test with Firefox 2 I get 6 times the speed I get with Opera 9.2. In theory once loaded the flash "object" should work the same, but it doens't.

I have been having other probles with Opera and other embedded object but I can't tell if it depends on wrong implementations or Opera itself.
