Huh. I didn't even notice the option was there.
Back in the day of mainframes and dumb terminals, some terminals offered a "smooth scrolling" feature. I just tried it out in Firefox and I don't like it for the same reason I didn't like it in terminals--it slows down scrolling. When I'm using a Web page, I like to be able to go right to where I want; even the small delay caused by smooth scrolling bugs me.
