Opera Labs has released the first sample of Peregrine (Opera 10) with Turbo enabled. Opera Turbo was announced earlier and allows Opera Mini like ways of handling downloading and pre-rendering of pages.

If you're wondering why you would use Opera Turbo, well in case of a low bandwidth connection. You probably have a good connection at home and at work, but there are locations in the world where high bandwidth is rare, or where you'll need to use your 3G connection to browse the web and you pay per megabyte. In such cases Opera Turbo should greatly reduce download times as it compresses and pre-renders the pages for you.

Although in some cases the page may look different, functional wise it's the same. And for those concerned about their secured connections, Opera does not compress and pre-render them so you won't be compromised.

Opera Turbo is still a product from the Opera Labs and it depends on the test results whether we'll see this feature sooner or later in a release. If you're interested, be sure to read the entire Opera Labs article, download the release, test it, and report back.
