Is there some tracking bug for pages that are slow to scroll? I've seen a dozen
new bugs filed on this issue lately.

scrolling is ok for me with build 20020427.. and an Athlon1.3
Note: There is a recent bug fix in this area (tiling)

Scrolling was fine for me on RC 1 (2002041711) on Windows XP.

You might want to make sure you have updated mouse
drivers for Windows XP and make sure that any helper
software for your wheel mouse doesn't disable support
for certain programs.

is this just a mouse wheel problem.. or is scrolling in general slow.  If the
general case is slow.. can you re-test with the latest build, a fix was checked
in for slow scrolling on May 1, 2002.

just tried it with the latest nightly build, it is still slow and laggy (not as
bad). but it is slow in general. not just with the scroll weel

no response from Blake and I think he's the only one reporting this.
