Something else that I just noticed; I had two documents open over the past night, I created both about the same time around 11pm according to the file's modified timestamp. One had about 3 pages of text, the other had three words.
Today at 1:22, the first and larger document exhibited the usual choppy scrolling behavior and the other did not. I closed the first document before I came across this observation. I'll try to keep notes here on what I'm noticing, perhaps there will be some nugget of useful information.

Redrawing the screen seems to fail, in the sense that subsequent sentences are overlapping (showing only half of one of them) I cannot produce a screenshot, because the process consumes more than 50% cpu. To describe what happens, imagine a scroll of half a page or so: it start the scroll, hampers on redrawing the bottom lines (when scrolling down), then finishes after about 10 seconds with >50% cpu activity. When it reaches its 'destination', it restarts from the beginning (top) and show the same behaviour several times. I have this problem with a word .doc file and adding comments to text, but I do not know if this is related. I have switched off the 'java' option in the preferences (having read about that solving the problem somewhere), but that doesn't help. closing and reopening the document resolves the problem: fast response to scrolling the mouse.
