Scrolling in Gmail has never been super fast for me. But i could live with it. The "Old Look" with the new Preview theme scrolled my inbox at about 5000ms. With the Classic theme it scrolls about 7000ms (higher info density). CPU spikes to near 100% either way.

Currently on Firefox 8 (beta6)
MacBookPro3,1 - 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo - GeForce 8600M GT 128MB

But now with Gmail's "New Look" they are rolling out [http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/gmails-new-look.html], everything in Gmail seems to be slower, including scrolling. But unfortunately, the bookmarklet to test scroll speeds from Comment #12 no longer works because they changed the arrangement of frames.

Not sure if various Gmail themes or the New Look affect how this bug is approached.
