Opera is VERY slow
I have been using Opera for about a year now, on a Vista Core2Quad with a highspeed cable connection, and I have recently come across a strange problem. Sometimes, when I use Opera, it suddenly loads pages very slowly - it takes over a minute to load the main opera.com page, for instance, and pictures are rendered in a pixellated fashion, flash and java components are missing/greyed out. Sometimes the text disappears from the Preferences window as well. Opera Turbo also enables itself at this time, though of course it doesn't do anything to increase the speed, and turning it off doesn't solve the problem.The strange thing is, this behaviour will continue for about a week, and then suddenly fix itself. It's not a problem with my connection, since Internet Explorer and Firefox work perfectly. I have tried clearing my cache, disabling Unite and Synchronisation, as well as Turbo, restarting my modem and the computer, but nothing seems to solve the problem. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks so much, this seems to have solved the problem perfectly
If you don't mind, could you explain how this solution works?
It's one of those dark things that no one has a proper explanation... Probably Opera staff have it...
Besides I can't imagine why Opera doesn't add http 1.1 support for proxies by default (as MANY people seem to suffer it), or why not adding some kind of "slow internet" detection tool (i.e. Opera turbo module "can detect this situation"), and then suggest the "http 1.1" thing...
But I'm not a proxy expert, neither a "usability and convenience department" expert
