Probably because the whole page is effectively one *huge* paragraph with
hundreds of forced line breaks and bold & italic tags. The markup is
truely terrible.
Perhaps Opera doesn't cope very well trying to make a DOM tree out of such
a large and complex block? Opera may be able to cope with 'street HTML'
but this is ghetto.
It didn't freeze for me exactly, it just slowed down to a crawl until
there was a couple of seconds delay when I paged down. It still did this
in User mode.

I think you arre correct. Definitely a problem of Opera not handling one
paragraph broken in thousands of pieces gracefully.

Almost the entire page is inside the ...
combination. If /either/ of these two elements is removed, Opera
behaves just fine.
I agree that the markup is bad, but is appears to be reasonably
valid.
