Nothing like this bug (extremely slow image loading, causing some pages to hang for up to several minutes while showing 99% or 100% loaded) has been reported in the opera.linux newsgroup that I've seen, so there was no indication that any such problem would occur with a port. 2. The maintainer says in response to the PR that he's not experiencing the bug (obviously, or I'm sure he wouldn't have released the port), so again, no indication that a problem was likely to occur. 3. The maintainer has a long history of Opera ports, and this is the first time I can recall one with a significant bug not seen in the native Linux version. So the move to TP3 does seem understandable, though as I agreed above, it would be nice to have the earlier port of the released version available as well.
