Is it? I just downloaded this alpha and ran SunSpider. Chrome 4.0.266.0 got 506.8ms +/- 6.6%, Opera got 763.4ms +/- 4.4%.
It might be machine dependent. For me on an AMD Semperon: Opera 10.5 alpha: 700.8ms +/- 0.8% Chrome 4.0.266.0: 840.4ms +/- 4.2%
FWIW I ran in a Core 2 Duo P9500 with W7 64, 4gb of ram.

If there was some sort of adblockplus for Opera I'd jump ship from Firefox in a heartbeat.
I'm not sure Privoxy is as smooth as Adblock, but it might be worth a try: http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/quickstart.html#QUICKSTAR...
From my somewhat limited knowledge of such, it seems like they took a fairly similar route as the Webkit guys. (Register based, etc..)
I'm a long time user of Opera. Always surprised why it is very underrated. Just for the record : * Opera is and was the fastest browser on limited memory/cpu machines * Opera is the most user friendly browser, it has always been so. (tabs, sync, speed dials, quick preferences, full zoom, email client, irc, skins, notes, downloader (btw, opera has the best "builtin" browser downloader ever, you can actually open files…
I used Opera 5 on my 50 MHz 486 when no other browser was truly up to the task. Continued using it on other machines until Safari 2 hit on the Mac.
I've always thought that Opera was by far the best browser out there, but Safari integrates so well with Mac OS X and ends up being quite good with SafariStand and Saft (now using Glims). I might go back to Opera someday though.

I'm happily using Opera instead of FireFox now. It's FAST and I have more screen space available.

Chrome comes very close. Its interface is actually cleaner than Opera's. I used to use Opera, but now I'm using Chrome. This new Opera has a better interface that leaves most screen space for the actual website, much like Chrome. Maybe I'll switch back to Opera.
chrome is taking the good path but its hard to stop some of the opera habits, including F4, F12, "/", past&go, direct search in Wikipedia/ebay
Firefox has a million extensions, but speed matters more to me.

Not only that, according to this: http://www.geektechnica.com/2009/12/move-over-chrome-opera-n... Opera even beats the webkit nightly in sunspider benchmark.
