Comment 8 for bug 174209

Hmmm amazing - I went to my /home/ben/ and renamed .opera to BACK.opera
Next, restarted Opera (make sure you SYNCHRONISED first - or you'll lose the notes and stuff...)
Then I started copying stuff back - the first symptoms I noticed were that changing SKINS made a big difference to tab switching!

However, after putting all the files back (so that I don't even need to go to the opera wiki drag n drop site to get the buttons for 'inFF, InMoz or the menu/bookmark bar hider......)

Now it's wickedly fast again. Must have been the .ini files or something - but it's back to normal.

btw, I deleted flash9 and put flash10 on through synaptic, no problems here.
