That has been my recent experience as well.  Opera tends to
allocate more and more memory to itself over time (and usage,
presumably) and only quitting and re-starting the app seems
able to take the memory usage back down.

Another option is to load another application that will require substantial memory, e.g. photoshop with a sizable image. not that I ever find such forcing necessary: 8.51 is currently using a modest 105MB for 24 pages (including Java, which contributes about 16MB as soon as you start it) after running for 13 days. (Win2K, 512MB). If I had a Gig of RAM, Opera would probably used more, but I also know that it would cope well if I only had 64MB RAM.
