Wanted to add one note here about CPU use - on a system with not much else running, scrolling looks good to me (~900 ms using the bookmarklet) however this came at a cost of about 65% cpu usage peak. Your bookmarklet in Safari gave me ~600 ms and only a 30% cpu usage.

I can imagine some of these complaints may stem from systems under load. Moving the scroll bar around manually (vigorously!) I could get up to 90% use, Safari peaked at about 30% which eliminates running the bookmarklet as the primary cpu use.

Was using top -s 1 with 10 trials for the cpu.
