Btw, while the css version looks nice, Opera seems to have extreme
performance problems with gitweb's project page when there are a lot
of repositories.  I.e. trying to view http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/
brings my system to its knees.  Turning off style sheets cures it
but then diffs are unusable ...

Strange. It's just a simple table. Could you and would you be able to
debug it further (e.g. by bisecting CSS)?

It's the combination of tr.light/dark:hover and background-color.
Changing the foreground instead of the background color is fast.
Maybe it recalculates the complete table when the background of
a table cell changes.

I've reported the problem to Opera ...
