Opera and high cpu usage

Hello all!

I have this annoying problem with opera.
After 1-2 hours of running opera cpu usage jumps to about 60-80%. To stop this I have to close opera and restart it.
I mostly have about 30+ tabs opened, but this shouldn't affect the cpu usage. It didn't in the past. I used the opera-devel-qt4 (10.20_4744-1) package from AUR and now I switched back to the "default" opera (10.10-2) package.
This started some days ago, and i cannot find out what causes this.
Any suggestions?

Vlad

Changed to opera-bundled. Seems to work fine now.

PS: NO IT DOESN'T!!!!

Re: Opera and high cpu usage

Is there a lot of active content on the pages you have opened(particularly flash)? Opera seems to occasionally hog a lot of CPU resources when it works with flash. It seems to me like a bug in the plugin wrapper...

Re: Opera and high cpu usage

I have no plugins running and killed the wrapper.
However it worked fine for the most time. I noticed opera has a higher usage than firefox. But now it's barely usable. Every 3-5 hours I have to stop and then restart opera. With the bundled version it's a little better. But it still freezes for some seconds with high cpu usage.
