Default Re: First Look at Opera 10: Can it Make a Dent in the Deskto

Turbo is designed specifically for people on either dial-up or slow networks. It compresses the information requested and sent, so less data is needed to load the page, and caches it on a server so the process is done faster. Many of the remaining dial-up ISPs have similar technologies already in place.

Indeed, a broadband user isn't going to notice much of a difference or see much of a benefit. I've read a few people that even say it hurts people with broadband connections. But Turbo is a really nice addition to the browser, if I do say so myself.
