Opera Turbo

We are launching our time-limited test phase for Opera Turbo, a server-side optimization and compression technology that provides significant improvements in browsing speeds over slow connections by compressing network traffic.

冒頭にあるように、「期間限定」で Opera Turbo の公開テスト試用が始まったとアナウンスが Labs Opera であった。個別記事の方は以下の箇所。

Opera Turbo, a server-side optimization and compression technology that provides significant improvements in browsing speeds over limited-bandwidth connections by compressing network traffic. This does not only make you surf faster, but also lowers the cost of browsing when you are on a pay per usage plan.

Together with Opera Turbo we have also turned on delayed script execution. It will only be turned on if Opera Turbo is on, and not during normal browsing. It will make script-heavy Web pages render earlier, so you can see the content faster than you normally would.
