anyone else finding 10.53 prone to freeze-up & a huge memory hog?
Granted, the price is great, but I'm finding 10.53 a bit buggier than 9.xx or 10.01 (or whatever the previous stable release was). Am I the only one, or is this an issue?I'm getting many more pages that take forever to to do *something* while Opera stops responding. Eventually it finishes whatever and wakes up, but most of the time whatever it was trying to do wasn't anything I wanted to begin with, so the frozen time is a total waste. Is there a way to break out of this, and does anyone know if the design team is addressing it?
Also, 10.53 eats a huge amount of memory and takes forever for the process to shut down. What can Opere.exe be doing for five or more minutes after shut-down that requires half a gig of memory? I'm running xp pro on a 2.7 GHz x86 with 2 gigs of memory.
Running XP with 2.8GHz P4 and 1GB of ddr2 ram.
Anyway, I'm not finding .53 buggy per se, infact it's working exactly as I hoped after the 10.51 crisis I had !
But back to your question, yes, I'm finding it a memory hog and find myself using task manager to "end process" just to speed it up from windows bloody "not responding" message when shutting down or when it hangs.

Yes, I never had any problems with previous versions but 10:53 often freezes on pages with scripts. I most often have to reboot, or it keeps on trying to load stuff forever, it seems.
So much so that I've gone back to an older version of Netscape to vew anything I think will have a lot of scripts on them, like social networking, etc.
I've also had weird displays on certain news sites where articles are only 1 word wide and the pages is L-O=N-G. I don't know what that is about, but it is really annoying when trying to read an article. www.indystar.com is one that does it. (below is cropped screenshot of the problem)newspage.jpg

Yes to all, including weird artifacts in the mail panel's main window (horizontal lines inside the defined box, mostly interspersed between in the various mail listings. There are times when the CPU load spikes unacceptably high with the memory hog aspect, and there's a propensity to freeze for variable periods at seemingly random intervals, though that might be due to variations in quality of my wireless Internet service (despite the fact I'm less than a mile distant with unobstructed line-of-sight view to the transmission antenna).
Running v10.53 on WinXP SP3 with the max 2Gb RAM in my laptop, but I also see similar behavior on several other machines (including 1 running Win7 Ultimate with 4Gb RAM).

I've had no trouble with 10.53. I have 27 web pages, and 2 email tabs open at the moment, and memory use is 554MB, but that's less than 10% of my 6GB.
