With accelerated scroll, you can get to the bottom in 4 fast swipes of the scroll wheel. Without, you have to do 20 scroll.

Adding insult to the injury, there is no autoscroll. That is, you can't middle click on a empty area and move mouse to pan the page.

By the way, this is a example how linux sucks donkey ass. On linux, there is no scroll wheel acceleration. Yet, linux nerds tolerate it. it is extremely painful. Over the past 20 years, countless requests for it, as can be seen on popular linux websites. Exactly which site changed over the years.
