Is the problem that the text can't render fast enough, or that you can't make the timer fire frequently enough?
If the first - could you pre-render the text into an image (or a series of images, eg one per line, to swap in and out of a group) and scroll that?
If the problem is that the timer doesn't fire enough - ie, I guess, that although you ask it to call you back in 1-millisecond, more time than that has actually elapsed before it does - does "the idleRate" effect this? Failing that, can you run your own tight loop, polling "the milliseconds" until it changes? (I'm guessing you don't really need to scroll at faster than 1000 pixels/second.)
