Opera slow when accessing Asian pages

11 Jan 2005

      Hi everybody.

The Opera web browser keeps slowing my complete system down to
almost freezing it for like a minute or so, every time I access web
pages with Asian fonts in them. Once a page is completely visible,
everything seems to be fine again and this also seems to be a
first-access problem only.

I have here Suse 9.0 with current updates and Opera 7.54u1
(downloaded from the Opera home page) on a PIII, 450 MHz system with
384 Mibyte of RAM.

This seems to be an Opera problem, but I thought that somebody of
you might have some idea already what the root cause could be.

Thanks :)
