have a similar system to yours and just downloaded the 64 bit Opera on
Squeeze. It installed quickly and with no errors. I have now ran it for
several hours pushing it harder than I normally push my Iceweasel 16 and
have experienced none of the issues you describe. Its lightning fast,

Yowsa! So if you exit Opera as a test then suddenly a lot of memory
is freed up and the system is suddenly back to its normal speedy

Then run it:

Hello.
In the ongoing saga of the inability of the 64 bit version of Debian 6
to swap properly, so that an i3 CPU with 8GB of RAM and a 40GB swap
partition, runs about as fast as an 8086 trying to run MS Windows 3, a
possible cause has occurred to me.
