Bottom left corner is where the speed is
When turned on, Opera Turbo will display the average compression rate. Hover your mouse over the Opera Turbo icon to see a tooltip with the amount of bandwidth saved as long as it has been enabled.
Opera Turbo doesn’t change the Web site
Turbo uses a technology called “Opera Web Optimization Proxy”, which is different from the Opera Binary Markup Language used in Opera Mini.
Web sites layout and text will look exactly the same, but image resolution may appear considerably lower as a result of the compression.
