defaults write com.apple.safari NSDraggingAutoscrollDelay -int 3
This sets the delay to three seconds, although as desired, any positive integer could be substituted in place of the 3. Three seconds works for me to prevent unintentional scrolling, while retaining the ability to scroll if required -- something that happens rarely enough for me to justify a three-second wait.
To reverse the change, use:
defaults delete com.apple.safari NSDraggingAutoscrollDelay
[robg adds: This command should work in any other Cocoa app that has autoscrolling, such as other browsers based on Apple's WebKit. You'll just need to change the com.apple.safari bit to reflect the app you wish to modify.]
