Facebook Performance is Sucky
Hi guys,I love Opera, and I have no intention of switching to something else - but its performance with Facebook specifically is beginning to annoy me. Next to Chrome/Chromium it behaves very sluggishly - and given the relationship between Google and Facebook I can't imagine that Chrome would be getting much special treatment from FB's devs. It's slightly irritating on my Win7 i5 desktop, and downright frustrating on my Linux Core 2 U7600 laptop. Chrom(e|ium) has no detectable latency in either case.
I understand that the differences between browsers' approaches to javascript and rendering will inevitably result in some variance between different sites and different browsers, but when what I'm pretty sure is the most-used website by time spent in the world runs slowly, it would be nice to look at some more optimization.
Cheers,
Jarrad
Facebook is actually more responsive and faster than chromium on my linux system here.
Chromium has hardware acceleration (which works fine) so, I am actually surprised.
I have had no problems with Opera / Facebook except at times when code changes are occuring on one of them.
This usually dissapears after a period of time.
Although google-plus and facebook offer similar concepts they are both reliant and dependent on each other.
This is the same with Opera / Google / Facebook they all use each other for different things.
Google analytics and adsense are a part of many open source projects as well as companies.
Video and window manager play a large part in fast responsive desktop and web enabled content in linux.
Incorrect settings at this level can affect one browser and not another one.
Linux fully tuned correctly with hardware acceleration options will usually fly along with no lags or delays.
Major changes are being implemented at the moment via facebook.
All sorts of things and options/apps/sites are having minor hiccups at present.
After it is all finished, there will a totally different product and capabilities established.
