Slow scrolling and skipping are subjective - maybe the problem does exist under Linux, b ut the Linux users are more tolerant :-) (I use Linux...) But seriously: to really evaluate this, one would possibly need screen recordings of the actual scrolling and one person can evaluate them. Or installation of the OS in a virtual machine, and then checking (but this would not be representative for all systems). So I guess a "howto" to record the actual scrolling on screen and a website where this can be posted, should help.
