Why is Opera Mini slow?

---

Opera used to be the fastest browser on my windows phone and I expect it to be just as fast on Android. Recently I tried it for android and it's slower than the default browser most of the time. Pages can take up to 30-40 seconds to load where as the default browser will do it in 10-15. I asked my friend to try my WM phone again since I gave it to him and he says that it is also slow.

Are the Opera servers being overloaded or something? I'm about to sadly uninstall it and use skyfire. Does anyone else have this problem?

I for one sure don't have that problem..... OM has always been lightning fast for me, which is why I use it as the default browser. Only "gripe" I have with it is that sometimes it won't pinch to zoom in, and sometimes it does. There was one time I about said to hell with OM because of it, but I can't think of anything faster that would be a decent enough replacement! Skyfire sure isn't it for me, and I used to use it all the time on WinMo until I realized how terribly slow it was to load
