Why make a package....just download the curent binary and run the install
script that part of the opera package???

At any rate....as for speed, opera is just naturally slow starting up in my
experience. But, you may be able to speed the process by using a cleaner
skin ... and keeping a leaner bookmark file and leaner cache.... but, opera
is, as I said, naturally slow on start up.

why not? i prefer to install packages of software. easy to uninstall,
track and stuff. and i make my opera package using checkinstall... but i
like a nice .SlackBuild script way better.

If you don't need it, you can deactivate the mail client, saves a littel
start up time and memory...
