Dupe of bug 141710 (via bug 216532). It's related to the mouse-down event.

Not a dupe (see 141710 comments). Confirmed on multiple machines, so reopening
(I asked on arstechnica, and it appears to affect Mozilla 1.5 as well as
Firebird and Camino. It's much better on a 1.8GHz P4 w/ Windows 2000 and a
recent Firebird nightly, but still slightly slow.

linkage to confirmation:

Confirming this bug.
It is unbearably slow on my bi-450 G4 machine : 3-4 s by scrollwheel action.
Many sites have scroll performance problems. See bug 188208 and bug 189649.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
