Opera - slow startup and massive memory usage

A few days ago, Opera began starting up abnormally slowly and consuming about 210 MB memory after startup.
It takes a good 30 seconds to start, the memory usage slowly rises and the CPU load is at ~50%.
After that, I have no problems at all, memory usage goes back to normal, etc.
My second problem is that I must close Opera in the process manager, or it won't shut down 😕.
What could cause this slowdown at start?

I've tried installing the newest version (I had 7.54 before), but it didn't help. I thought that the memory cache might be the culprit, but it isn't. I can turn off memory caching but the problem persists.
Opera used to initialize in a matter of seconds...
Other browsers (Firefox, IE) don't have this problem.
I've swept my system with Ad-aware+NAV+SpySweeper+Spybot, so I don't think that it's a trojan/malware I'm dealing with here.

Does anyone have an idea what my problem might be? Have you encountered this problem before?
 
Thank you for the quick responses.
It was caused by a few corrupted files. Reinstall didn't help because those files were never deleted after uninstall.
Now it loads instantly 🙂
