As far as I can tell, even with opera 9.02 gmail is still running in
standard html mode rather than the javascript method used by ie and
firefox and a few others.  The javascript interface is much faster and
has a lot less overhead of course.  Now perhaps the problem is that they
recognize opera and don't check the version before deciding which method
to use for it.  Of course opera is always very big on standards, and
tend to avoid non standard features, such as the xmlhttprequest that
someone invented but isn't part of the html standards.
