“Opera Turbo when enabled will boost your browsing speed by a
significant factor. This increase in speed is more pronounced when
you are browsing on a slow Internet connection like a dial-up.
Opera achieves this by acting as a web proxy to your client. The
servers at Opera will retrieve your web page, compress it and then
send it to your browser thus reducing the size of data and
consequently boosting speed. Among other means, the compression is
achieved by image down-sampling therefore some level of distortion
in graphics may occur.“Opera 10 Is Much Faster

web specifications supported in Opera presto 2.2 – the web engine
powering Opera. Though this benchmark puts it a little (6 percent)
