Just recently, the Opera 11.10 release candidate was made available for download. It brought a handful of important feature additions -- like HTML5 File API support and IMAP enhancements -- and loads of bugfixes. Nestled in amongst the other details in the Opera team's announcement is one more interesting tidbit: Opera 11.10 offers improved battery optimizations.
The timing here is certainly interesting, what with Microsoft's recent report on how much power the top five Web browsers consume. In its findings, Opera 11 was fairly low in the standings. While we've not seen any new benchmarks yet, we're curious to know whether the Opera 11.10 RC offers any significant gains.

Despite the power saving feature, Opera 11.10 also has a standout feature known as Turbo Function. It allows us to speed up browsing on slower networks such as dial up connections and 3G networks. I’m sure their standings will improve since they’ve made many other changes as well (see: http://www.softwarecrew.com/2011/04/opera-11-10-released-boasts-faster-turbo-revamped-speed-dial/)
