I'm afraid I have to disagree. Moving the mouse pointer to
the scroll bar, clicking it and dragging it is definitely
more effort than simply clicking a link.
It depends on how much bandwidth you have, and how bad the
latency is between you and the web server response. If you have
infinite bandwidth and the latency is virtually zero, then clicking a
link is faster. If you have lower bandwidth and/or higher latency,
then scrolling is likely to be better.
Who are you going to try to optimize the web pages for?
