I personally keep disk cache to 0 since loading from the net is faster then from disk, most of the time (if you have bad connection that wont be so). I also have memory cache set to 0 for some time now, since I like opera consuming only betwean 10~40mb. Note that the memory cache works in Opera does not mean "if you close the tab and go back it will reload the entire contents".
(oh noes accidental thread necro) Here's a simple trick for those like me who hate sorting though addresses. Opera instructions but other browsers should work similarly...
Opera checks the booksmarks when you type in the address field so having nice and simple bookmarks you will get perfect simple suggestion each time. For form field completion you can 1) use wand's field thingy to get fast complete with Ctrl+Enter or 2) add wathever it is you add frequently to notes, you can press DownArraw while in a textfield (not a textarea) to access notes on the fly. [Automatic Google "I'm feeling lucky" search for misstyped addresses]

This one is a double-edge sword but, if you want to tell Opera not to load its default weekly updated site-fixing scripts; since well you don't visit sites that need them:
opera:config#UserPrefs|BrowserJavaScript Set it to 0. Documentation: http://www.opera.com/docs/browserjs/

The recent proliferation of threads here with YouTube embeds has made FlashBlock a pretty valuable add-in for Firefox for me.

FlashBlock adds an equivalent feature to Firefox. When I visited the recent OP/ED thread, my CPU usage jumped, and the page took quite a while to load. It appears that each embedded player instance has to be decoded. With FlashBlock, each item is overlaid with a play button that activates the Flash content on demand.

I'm guessing firefox is chocking on that many flash players? In Opera I never had a use for such things but you can: 1) press F12 and Disable Plugins, or 2) use FlashBlock of course (blocks silverlight too).

Google Chrome is very "free" with sending information; so if you don't like it there is this alternative version that can be used, its called Iron and is created by a german company. Effectively, Chrome striped of all the information abuse.

For Firefox users, apart from all the optimizing techniques introduced in the previous posts, disabling IPv6 at about:config may also be helpful. Quote:
Btw currently I'm using Firefox+Vimperator as my main browser. Firefox may not be the fastest browser on earth in terms of startup and rendering, but the extra speed, efficiency and screen estate I can gain from a command-line browser environment outweigh all its shortcomings. Don't get freaked out by the Vi/Vim technical mumbo jumbo. Just like me, you don't need any Vim background to enjoy the speed and benefits of 100% mouseless browsing. Print a cheat sheet out and stick it on your desk for a day. On the next day you gain full command of your browser at your fingertips, as well as an extra piece of scrap paper. These are the Vimperator plugins I am using, btw. To maximize screen estate (screencap example), I recommend installing autoHideStatusbar for firefox as well. Spoiler:

IMO the greatest thing of ubiquity is its simplicity as a command-line tool which even the mouse-loving crowd can very easily get used to (unlike Vimperator ). The community-based nature also allows infinite expansion of its commands. Somehow I feel that it will be bundled with the next generation of Mozilla browser.

Rather than start another thread, this seemed as good a place as any to mention today's report about updating to Internet Explorer 8. Those crafty folks at Microsoft have included an additional "feature" if you elect to install the IE8 update; it makes IE the default browser even if you have another one like Firefox or Opera selected.
