It isn't. I use Opera a lot myself, and the version I've got is 34.0.
There is also a beta available, for 36.0. At the moment I've got 10
windows open, with probably 10 tabs in each. Opera takes up about 1.2GB
of memory at the moment and is blazingly fast, even with all these tabs.

Add the following to your sources if you want the latest stable version:

deb http://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free

The package is called opera-stable. Opera's web page says to use a
different repo for the beta version, but there is a package for it in
this one too. No idea if it is the latest. This series of Opera uses a
different rendering engine than 12, if that is important to you.

I use Adblock Plus, Ghostery, LastPass and NoScript Lite with Opera,
but it's still fast with reasonable memory usage.

You're not alone ;-)
