Abhinav Peddada writes: ars technica takes the latest from Opera's stable — Opera 9.5 for a test run and finds some interesting results, including it being a "solid improvement to an already very strong browser". On performace front, ars technica reports "Opera 9.5 scored slightly higher (281ms) than the previous released version, 9.23 (546ms). And Opera 9.x, let it be known, smacks silly the likes of Firefox and Internet Explorer, which tend to have results in the 900-1500ms range on this test machine (a 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM). Opera was 50 percent faster on average than Firefox, and 100 percent faster than IE7 on Windows Vista, for instance."
