It seems that opera currently is the only full fledged super fast browser for linux.
i guess you haven't heard of konqueror... i use it as my primary browser (on freebsd amd64), but use linux opera (been using 9.0 weeklies for quite a while) for the few sites that require things like flash and contenteditable (or whatever it's called now) or have really buggy html (google groups, and i should start using opera for osnews too, since replying doesn't work right in konqueror)...
on my machine konqueror starts up about three times as fast as opera, but page loading/rendering is about the same speed.
