Isn't it easier to set the parameter I mentioned to '0'?

Now that I know that, yes.  However, I am reluctant to set parameters
(whose name I do not know) to 0, because sometimes zero means 'do not
delete'.  I'd much rather see an "empty everytime I exit Opera"
capability.
No doubt as to the meaning of that.

Opera would do well to set a very low initial value to that parameter.  At
one point I was waiting over 15 seconds for Opera to reflect the keystrokes
I typed onto the address bar.  During that delay, the hard disk activity
light on my notebook was on solid.


One last comment, I watch the wish list areas here, and I never saw one
request for a new feature that drastically slows down Opera's
responsiveness, as this one does.  With this feature, I see Opera edging
dangerously close to bloatware, i.e., the gratuitous addition of features
just for the purpose of adding features.   Per-site proxy configuration
would have been a much better new feature.  At least that one does not slow

You would do well to try the latest snapshots  
[http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog]
The address bar never has any delay now for me on my typing. Which is  
better that it was even before they added the new history search.
If you are on a recent snapshot and you still see delays in the address  
bar reflecting what you type it should now be the result of a bug, not a  
feature.

The Save As web archive feature has not worked in the recent snapshots.   I
use that feature frequently, so i cannot use the recent snapshots.

Why, oh why, are new fetures fixed, and regressions allowed to continue in
snapshots is beyond me.   Poor development planning.


but to your point, I don't need that feature, I never saw anyone asking for
