Indeed: the article claimed Opera mini made mobile Safari feel painful to use, which in my experience is patently false.
It is only occasionally noticeably faster, and the rendering is far worse. Mobile Safari is great because it actually renders sites appropriately. Opera mini is great because it's faster than your built-in phone browser, but it doesn't compete with real browsers even when it's marginally faster.
