Once visting JS / Flash-site(s), Opera 10.53 gradually freezes

Hi!

Thanks for a great browser! Been using it since version 5.x, I think. 9.x was, in my opinion, the best update as of yet. These new 10.x updates seem to get worse but let's see where this is going smile

Setup 1: XP Pro, Opera 10.53, newest Flash and Java updates.
Setup 2: Win7 64 bit, 10.52, older flash and Java updates.

I use Opera Mail on both setups.

I tried to search for an answer through the forums but couldn't quite find a similar problem.

Anyways, the problem is: With Setup 1 (XP Pro), once I've visited a site that has any kind of Flash, or JavaScript for that matter, Opera gradually starts to hog more and more memory resources and becomes very choppy and slow. It's like it goes into some sort of loop. After a while, CPU usage goes to around 50%, and stays there. Which is very peculiar in itself. The choppiness is very bad, nevertheless.

The Setup2 (Win7, 64bit) with the older browser/flash version works like a charm.

I tried re-installing and the whole usual shebang. I'm pretty sure it has all to do with the newest Flash.

If there's somebody with a problem similar to mine, and some knowledge how to get over it, I'd more than appreciate it.
