If you were a faster human being, do you think you would still get these overshoots?

Yes... but hard to do within the current paradigm. Actually scroll speed dependence on where you keep the mouse would be best, but not doable in my understanding without major change. (I actually tried to make the 200 ms delay into a variable that could be tuned at runtime, but failed miserably. Does anyone know if that can be done, and how?) > Seeing where I am in the document is no problem with the current speed, > the problem is more one of reaction time.
