On some articles on www.nytimes.com, scrolling is slow and jerky when you scroll
by holding down the up or down arrow keys on the keyboard. For example:

that page scrolls fine for me on win2k, current trunk.

Scrolls fine for me. Linux, ID 200203921.

Reporter, it may be because of the Flash animation. I first noticed jerky
scrolling on pages with flash animations a few weeks ago. Seems to be resolved
in newer builds.

I still have minor scrolling problems on the page noted with 1.0.0 build
2002041405 on Mac OS X. Scrolling from the top to the bottom of the page by
holding down the down arrow key does not seem as fast or as smooth as on other
pages.

James, would you attach the HTML from that URL to this bug? It requires
registration.

I don't run into this problem anymore.
