OK, I've noticed that even with "Best fit" evince won't scroll a full page per mouse wheel 'notch', which in my opinion should be the default behavior (as it is in other PDF readers).
If you press F5 (presentation mode), then scrolling with the middle button will give you 1 page per notch. Is that what you want, but for "Best fit" instead of presentation mode? or even regardless of "Best fit" you still want to be able to set the scroll rate? I guess all of the above..
