Well, yes and no. It's a palm limitation becuase that's as fast as the
palm can go under this implementation, but its a plucker problem
becuase it is fixable.

Actually yes. After I sent out my original response to you I realized
that if you absolutly wanted to have smooth scrolling as you described
it, you can enable MODE3 on the 'Tap Action' form. Then you can drag
the entire page up and down and have it update in real time with the
pen movements.

If the scrollbar were to be re-enabled to act like this, then it would
be just as slow as of what you see here.
