Disable smooth scrolling in Mountain Lion
Does shutting off smooth scrolling result in a system performance boost or is it just a personal preference?
Why?
Pardon the ignorance, but why would one want to disable "smooth scrolling"? Maybe I'm not cognizant of what it is and why it would be worth disabling.
Why?
It's a minor thing that controls whether page up/down in a document is instant, or whether it's an animated scroll. On most Macs users won't notice a difference but on the Retina MacBooks it can be jerky and unpleasant.
Disable smooth scrolling in Mountain Lion
Unfortunately the Reader function does not work properly with smooth scrolling disabled. Upon pressing a space bar it jumps to the end of the page instead interpreting it as "page down". At least in OS X 10.8.2 and Safari 6.0.2 |
