Smooth scrolling in Lion's Preview application sucks. Pressing the Page-Down key too quickly leaves you waiting for Preview to catch up to your position.

The only way I can find to turn this off is to switch from "Continuous Scroll" to "Single Page" view, but I don't want to view pages like that. The system prefs for "General/Smooth Scrolling" do nothing.

Is there any way to get my jerky scrolling back (apart from switching to Adobe Reader)?

The new menu items Go - Previous Item (⌥↑) and Go - Next Item (⌥↓) aren't animated. They seem to behave like ⇞ and ⇟, but without scrolling documents that don't fit the window vertically. And they always align the top of the document to the top of the window in the Continuous Scroll mode.

They don't have that equally annoying page-slide animation in the Single Page or Two Pages modes either.
