Big problem with important sites and not only

I have a big problem, sites like Wikipedia, Google, Youtube load so hard or not at all.
For example:
http://screencast.com/t/ou8iNS7D - Google - stays like that for 20-30 seconds, and after that loads completly
http://screencast.com/t/5AbCEvfx7vb - Youtube - same as Google, a bit faster maybe
http://screencast.com/t/5DPjfnvFZ - Wikipedia if I use w <something>
http://screencast.com/t/cN7LrsnfRxv - Wikipedia on the homepage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page , and for that i have to wait like 1 minute+
And so on. But the thing is that from time to time works ok, fast, but only from time to time, then gets back to this...

What is wrong with it? I tried the last version and 11.64. I have Windows XP SP3, Flash Player is up to date, Java, etc.
I like Opera, it's about 2 weeks since I use it, after a few years of Firefox, but If i still have this problems, I have to go back to Firefox, sadly.

Oh, one more bug, in bookmark bar, some favicons disapear from time to time. I have to close that tab and re-open it so I can see favicons again.

Not sure, for me the Wikipedia main page opens immediately (well, under 5 seconds).

You have Opera 12.02? (It was fairly recent, so I'm just checking ...) How much RAM do you have - some older XP systems had quite minimal RAM. Windows is 32-bit or 64? (Probably not 64 unless you have over 2 GB of RAM.)

Network connection? Since something like this (long delays) wouldn't be all that strange on dial-up, I must presume this is some form of broadband. What sort of internet security and privacy program(s) do you use?

I have a very good connection, 100 Mbps.
I don't have any firewall, security suite or something like that.

I know Linux versions used to have an issue with Wikipedia's main page due to all the foreign characters (over on the left hand side, for selecting a different language), haven't heard of a similar issue in Windows (and obviously don't have it here). confused

It's not only wikipedia. Youtube as well and other sites.
Some sites are very fast and some like Wiki and youtube, so slow.

These are all common problems with Opera. I have these and other similar problems for long time now.

The important questions are: where's the support? where's the help? where's Opera feedback and help? This was originally posted in Sep. 2012?!

Hassle with google products are most pressing, yet, its tough finding helpful solutions via these forums - search function doesn't really turn up useful items.
