Disabling Mac OS X Smooth Scrolling
From Wikistix
Getting frustrated at the slow scrolling speed in Google Chrome, I tripped over this hint out on the 'net, which appears to still work under El Capitan.
Smooth scrolling (aka scroll animation?) can be disabled globally for a user by:
sh$ defaults write -g NSScrollAnimationEnabled -bool false
Or, for a single application - eg. Google Chrome - via:
sh$ defaults write com.google.Chrome NSScrollAnimationEnabled -bool false
Under Google Chrome, this takes effect on tab creation.
