So please explain why it works just fine with my PC.

Absolutely no idea. What version are you running?

(As I said, I ran a much older version in a VM, and it was trippy-fast. 
It's only recent versions that seem slow...)

So today I learned a thing: Opera auto-updates itself. And it is 
impossible to disable this behaviour.

I don't find that very amusing.

(Well OK, it's but *impossible*, just damned hard. There's a 
command-line switch --- which won't work if you click a URL which 
auto-opens the default web browser. Or you can rename the updater 
executable. Which may accidentally get "repaired". Or you can try to 
firewall your web browser... good luck with that!)

Not only can you not tell it to stop this, you also cannot tell that 
it's doing this. There's no UI to tell you an update is happening, or 
how far it's got, or anything. That's very annoying.

Could be worse, I suppose; FileZilla auto-updates itself too. It has an 
option to turn off updates, WHICH IT BLATANTLY IGNORES!

As in, I've turned updates off, the settings dialog tells me it's off, 
and still every time I start the program it prompts me to install the 
update. And no matter how many times I delete the update file, it 
redownloads it again.

Maybe it's time to switch to WinSCP...
