The busy bees working on the next major update for the Opera browser have released yet another test build, the first to follow the introduction of the Dragonfly Alpha 1. The new Opera 9.5 snapshot comes with profile-guided optimization (PGO), a technique through which Opera is compiled twice so as to give a better and yet faster final result. In addition to this, the build features:
