I'm not sure if I'm imagining this, but pretty sure the rendering speed has improved. Strutting around my own site seems much faster anyway. I think the impact of the new release seems much less than IE, but mostly because IE was lagging in features and CSS support so the changes are more apparant. One thing I saw in Opera that I really like is incorporating paged data results into the browser - it will find links that are likely to be next page / previous page and provides shortcuts for navigation. Quite a minor thing, but nice feature.
