If I understand correctly, you are running Opera in BL3.40 under qemu in 
some other OS such as Windows.  Why?  Opera is already available for 
Windows, so why run it in Windows/qemu/BL rather than directly in Windows?

It is about the most cpu intensive program I run in BL (other than gcc). 
Have you tried Abiword or xpdf, which are not available for Windows 
directly?
